Brian, knowing the kind of hunter you are first hand I have no dought you will at least see him again. Where are you hunting, not the horse farm or that other piece of property are you. If you need some help call me <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>. Just kidding, too expensive to hunt here. The best time to see him again would be the very next morning IMO. Last year I missed a buck in the morning and returnrd to the same tree in the afternoon and before I could get settled in he was right there. I did manage to get him, you might remember my 5 minute hunt. After the first 24 or so hours I think he will wonder off only to return if a doe brings him back or at ruts end. You know he is in the area so put in the time and things might work out. Best of luck my friend. Send me the pics.
