I was hunting last night near a rub and a scrape that I had recently discovered. About a half hour before dark, I had a little four point walk within yards of my stand and hang out for about 15 to 20 minutes. About 5 minutes after he left the area, the biggest deer I had ever seen came out from my right. He walked in a straight line to the rub and began putting a hurting on the tree. It was about a 20 yard shot and in my excitement I managed to miss him. The stand is on my land and I have a home on the property, also so I can hunt as often as I want. Have I scared this big boy away from the scrape or will he return? Also, how soon should I return to the area? Thanks for your input.
