RE: kicked big buck out of bed!~
Well heck boy. You already kicked him out. You should have taken the opportunity to do some serious exploring before leaving. That way you could have picked some ambush spots and approaches for your return. Kicking him out once will NOT send him to the next county. It was an inconvenience and he probably didn't go far before going into his sneak and peak stealth mode. He'd bed up again quite quickly. If you don't see him or any deer like this again, it doesn't mean you spooked him away. Most mature bucks are king of their domain. We RARELY see them. It's even rarer to see them twice or three times. We usually get one or two chances and that's it. We have to make the most of those opportunities. The deer don't run off, just get more cautious and careful.
