IllinoisHunter Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Don't worry, he'll be back. Granted no other hunter gets lucky. I had a similar situation take place a few years back, and eventually shot that buck about two weeks later. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missilelock Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 he will be in the area, although I would probably hunt a different stand in the same general area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kid Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 i doubt he'll be next to your stand, where he saw you but i'm sure he'll be around the area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 I think he will be in there somewhere and slip up and you'll get a chance at em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razortec_hunter Posted November 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 well i only got that one stand....i dont have a whole lotta hangable trees...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 He didn't spot you in the stand, he spotted you on the ground. Don't worry about it. He's got a one track mind right now anyway. Drag a doe_in_estrus rag in to your stand next time you sit in it, and forget about your camera for a while. It's thwackin time, not picture taking time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
