RE: October 24th daily hunting thread.
Was out most of the day. Had a 2hr break between 12:00 and 2:00 Drove to another location for the afternoon hunt. Had a stand already set up in a staging area that the deer usually hung around in 1/2 hr or so before commiting to entering the field. Long story short I never saw a deer in there. I was leaving my stand and entered the edge of the field and there stood about 20 deer already in the field. This is only a difference of 60 yards from my stand to where these deer were. They entered above me where I couldn't see them. I wasn't prepared to shoot one so I video taped them for a bit. I bent down to set my bow on the ground and there were 3 others 15 feet from me to my left that I never saw until they bolted. It was a pretty cool night.
Should I go back to that location tommorrow or wait a couple days for them to calm down? I would move closer with my climber to get a open field shot, but they kinda spooked when the 3 deer went out beside me. Or do you think their stomachs will overide their nerves?
