Default Frustrating to say the least.

Well, it's going on five years since I took a deer with my bow (granted college did get in the way), so believe me when I say I'm ready to get out of this rut. The warm temps here in PA have been a little tough to hunt and quite uncomfortable. Today, it was 83 at home today so today was no different. I got into my stand around 5:20 and tried to bear the heat. Around 6:45, 4 doe started working their way towards me from a small food plot 60 yards uphill. To make a long story short, by the time one presented a shot (it was almost past legal shooting time), I draw back with a perfect 15yd shot and low and behold, my peep sit twisted!! I couldn't see crap!! So I slowly let my string down and at least they didn't spoke. However, it was getting dark and I had no light, so I couldn't just wait forever for them to leave. So I started yelling, and they ran. I know they didn't know where it was coming from, but I'm still unsure about this. How long should I wait before I go back in there? Was yelling a bad idea? What do you guys suggest to do in a situation like that (for future reference)?
