Guest bigbuckmiddaugh Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 First did you get the deer?? Next, they won't be back! After something like that, a deer puts off a odor or something and the other deer know. Chance's of them coming back and slim to none! They might visit at night. BUT on the other side, you might have other deer visiting that area too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRTMO Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Re: Guess it happens to everyone ? I shot 2 deer from the same stand in one day a couple years ago with my 12 guage. They'll be back. No doubt about it. Did you get the deer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest robane Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Re: Guess it happens to everyone ? if i were you, i would not hunt that stand for at least a week, let things calm done some. if it were a mature buck, chance are that he would not revisit the area for a long time. i personally have had does come back in the afternoon after i have missed in the morning. were the same deer, who knows but a stand in a good location will always attract deer. good luck in the future.

buckbuster11 Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Re: Guess it happens to everyone ? I'm wondering like everyone else if you got the deer? They'll be back, give it a week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAbowhunter4life Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Re: Guess it happens to everyone ? They'll be back, but I'd move the stand to another tree. Does are smart and will definitely be looking up in your tree the next time they come back. Move the stand, give it a couple days to calm down, and go back and ger her this time.

Tony Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Re: Guess it happens to everyone ? dont sweat it.. we all miss one every now and then.. you will find out that as you gain experience that you will pick a small spot on the deer to hit and aim hard at it.. then make your normal shot.... its the little things taht make a shot good.. you can practice all you want but real deer hunting experience is so valuable to new bow hunters... but the excitement never goes away.. thats the fun of bowhunting....

Rem308 Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Re: Guess it happens to everyone ? Yeah it happens to the best of us. I've missed a few deer in situation worse than that! Don't worry about it, and that rush of 'buck/doe fever' has already been felt by me on the first day of bow season...And I never even released an arrow! I would give that stand a week to settle down, then hunt it hard again. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
