Default Will they come back?

Hey guys, I hunted a new place the evening of Oct 28th, never been here before so I had just planned on hunting in a corner where a thick fence row meets the main woods, while walking in the field towards the corner I noticed really big tracks, and once along the fence row I seen 3 fresh scrapes, and I went about 5 yards into the main section, there were about 20-30 trees just shredded, so I picked a tree and laid my climber against it, untied a strap and all of a sudden a big deer jumps up about 20 yards away, so now I am doubting if I should stay and hunt, or get out of there, I choose to stay...I untied another strap and ANOTHER Bigger Buck jumps up along the fence row, I quickly tied my climber back up and left, didn't even hunt in hopes that in a week they'd be back, and I can set up further down and try to call or rattle them in.

My question to you guys is, have I ruined this spot or will they come back?

well you know he/they areusing the area, sounds like you may need to adjust your approach, and make adjustments accordingly, i had found some good sign a few years back, the trouble was getting in and out W/O buggering the area up too bad. the deer was bedding with thickets on three sides and a hillside to his back, he could detect trouble from all four directions, and he was giving me the slip every time i was going in (saw the buck 2X rear view [:@]while he was leaving, the two other hunts were morning hunts)with all five hunts in the area within a 21 day time frame. finally found where there was a small opening (natural funnel) between two of the thickets, only about 30 yrds wide, big hardwoods, waited till the wind was right, moved in mid-day 11:00am his girl friend brought him right too me at 2pm. looking back it was all pretty much text-book, but when i found all the rubs and several "hot" scrapes, i kind of hunted the area with reckless abandone, and threw caution to the wind.when i gathered myself back up and started using my head things just fell into place. he had outsmarted me 4 out of 5 times.. if i was a betting man, i'd bet the bucks you jumped willbe back soon, one other thing i only let this spot cool down 5 days at the most, the other 4 hunts were all in a 2 week time frame..

good luck i wann see pic's
