Well, today was a pretty good day in the woods overall. About an hour or less in my stand I hear some deer restling around. A few seconds later, I can see them and they are running all over the place. They eventually settle down and 3 of them come right near me (about 15-20 yds). I decided not to shoot any of them(even though I haven't killed a thing yet)since I really want a buck. About an hour and a half later I pull out the can hit it 2 times. A few seconds later something runs down the trail behind me. I figure great, I spooked them again. Well, about 30 seconds later I hear some foot steps. I turn around and here comes a deer down the trail. At first I didn't realize it was a buck. I should have stood up immediately, but I didn't. A few steps later I realize this is a shooter buck! My first one I have ever seen in the woods
He keeps on the trail which is pretty heavly wooded. I was affraid to move thinking he might see me. He just kept walking so I grunted once and he stopped....right behind some trees. I could barely see his head. He stood there for about 2 minutes and finally walked off. I grunted again, but he kept going. Since that didn't work I pulled out the lil' can and tried that, but that didn't work either. After my long story my question is....did my grunting and using the can scare him off, or do you think I can get another chance at him on that trail again?
Did I blow any future chances on getting this buck?
