Did I spook this buck for good?
Around Noon today, I decide to talk a walk with my 9 yr old daughter to go take a look at the digital trail camera. After about 10 minutes into our slow walk down the trail, my daughter says "Dad, there's a buck". I think it is just another one of those deer comments, kids say.
I then look over in the direction she is pointing and there stands the 10 point, about 60yrds. This is the same deer I have pictures of last month on the digital trail camera almost in the same area. He then kinda bolts off with the flag up... What an experience for my daughter to see this buck and what a relief that this big boy is still alive.
My question is this....Have I spooked him good or will he still be around since the does are still hang around our property???? The rut here in Michigan will begin in about 2-3 weeks or sooner depending on weather.
Thanks!
