I also think he'll be back, and if he's not he won't be far away...if this is a buck. I guess it kinda depends on how pressured the deer are and if they'll spook easy.I personally don't believe in a buck getting spooked and running 5 miles away and never coming back. Maybe some people have had this happen but my bet is 9 outta 10 times they stay where they are...just very cautously.
