Default Busted!

Im sitting in my stand lastnight not seeing anything for the first couple hours when all of a sudden here comes what I thought to be a real good 9, he was looking for apples but the little guys cleaned them up, he stood just inside the edge of the woods looking at the cornfield. He stood there for about 10 minutes not moving. Ive already got my bow in hand just waiting for him to step out into one of the shooting lanes or into the field, no such luck. Somehow or another he spotted me. Not sure if he winded me or not. The wind had been out of the north untill like 10 minutes before he showed up, it switched from the south. He had me pegged somehow, even though im sitting in some pretty thick cover. I never moved. He turned and started to walk away, so I hit my bleat call and he picked up the pace, when he was further in the woods, he snorted. When he turned I got a better look at his rack, hes a good 10 pinter not a 9. Heres my question. I have hunted that stand 3 days in a row and hes the only deer that has busted me thus far. Should I let the stand sit idle for a couple days or hit it again and hope he returns? I hope I didnt spook him out. This is the second 10 pointer I have seen out of that stand in 3 days. I have no doubts that if the wind would have stayed out of the north he may have come out and offered me a shot, but maybe not. [:@]
