Default what to do ???? is he spooked ?

well today was opening day in ga. I was not able to go out in the am, but made it out in the afternoon.

about 10 minutes before dark I heard something walking. I had put out some sent wicks with doe urine. not estrus, just plain doe urine. well I have not hunted here before and I was not sure where to expect the deer to come but I had an idea from the trails. well what i heard walking was a buck! a nice one too. I saw it walk up from my left behind me and almost to the scent wick.. well he was walking very slowly and lightly stomping with each step. kinda like a heavy walk. well he got within a few feet of the scent wick and stoped. at first I did not think it was a deer cause the body was so big. the mans property I hunt has a horse, and some ponies. well when I first saw it I was like what the heck??? and then I noticed it just had a huge body!! then when he turned I could see a nice rack. it was so close to dark I could not tell how manuy points though. I jsut noticed it was kinda wide. well where he stoped I pick up my gun and as I did he slowly turned and slowly walked off like he new something was not right but did nto know what. I cuold have shot, but I wanted a clear shot not a guess at a good shot.as hard as it was to not shoot I decided to wait untill another day when I could have a clear shot and see exactly how big it was....

so do you tihnk he is spooked to the point of not coming back in the morning or the next afternnon????
