Winded, Do I still have a chance?
I was hunting a pine/cypress head that is appx 150 yds round. I was on the north end b/c there were rubs and i got some pics at this spot, but after two hunts, I have not seen any deer. I got down a little early and started walking and got winded. Turned out, the big deer was on the back side on the head. My scent was carried through the head to the back side where he was located. I have been wondering if his bedding and primary habitat was back there but again, given the rubs and pic, I hunted the front side. My question is, what is a logical strategy for getting on this deer or do you think I sent him nocturnal? How many days or weeks should I wait before trying to get back on him?
