RE: My rut is possibly spoiled- gun question
It may just be around here, but I've heard of people shooting a deer, and while waiting the half hour, have another come strolling back down the same trail. In my own experince, I shot three times at a deer last year (don't ask, confused with the old Weaver post and I did end up dropping him on the third shot) and the next day, my dad shot a deer not 500 yards from where I did. I wouldn't give up on your spot yet.
