[doramo]

[X(] need info,,, located an buck rub line and have been scouting it since opening day with no luck ,,,, but 3 days into deer season as i was moving quietly along wooded fence line, in the tall grass, out pops this buck.. tried whistling to get him to stop but no luck so too a shot as he was jumping over brush (of which i missed) .To be sure I did not score an hit I tracked him along rub line checking for any blood and seen him again,,but did not get a chane to to shoot. will the buck come back to his rub line or start an new one somewhere else ???? thx

Give him some time if there's not too much presure in the area he may be back,deer don't like to leave their home range unless severly presured,Good Luck

He'll be back but chances are you won't see him unless he hooked up with a doe.

There is obviously something there he likes and will certainly come back. I tried a neck shot late one evening on a large racked buck because I couldn't see his body well enought to chance wounding him, so I shot for the neck knowing he was either a dead deer or an unwounded deer. I missed and saw him flag off with his does. He was back the next week during the afternoon by himself and I took him in the lungs at about 80 years with my 270 Winchester. Keep hunting him, but get there really early and wait for him to make the move... I would not encourage a running shot at a Whitetail because of their loping gait and speed if running outright. Wait until you have the advantage...not him.
