Your best bet would be to move your stand to where you first saw the buck before he hit that tree. Reason...when he decides to come back in, he'll hang back until he knows all is clear.

This has happened to me. No shot. Just got busted by being skylined. I moved my stand to where I saw the buck before he skylined me. The next evening, the same buck moved up the hollow to the lower edge of the point I was originally located. He stood there and scanned that point before he committed to move to that point. He had NO idea that he stopped directly beneath me. I did decide to pass on him after taking a closer look.

I've used this strategy several different times with much success when a decent buck will hang up before commiting. Usually it's just before legal shooting light is gone.

If they hang up before making it to your stand, move it to where it will give you the advantage.

It works.
