Bumped.....What to do?
First of all, a little background on my hunting spot will probably help you all out alot with your answer. I hunt a small fairly urban 17 acre piece of bush that has a few houses around but is in a rural setting. Last night on my way into my stand at 4:30 i waswalking down the lane that heads back toward my stand, i put my head down to walk through some water and when i looked up there was the doe that i was after scurrying away at about 40 yards. I still can't believe i bumped her at that time but im starting to think she was bedded between me and my stand and i may have got her up. I know for sure her and a fawn use this bush as there core area and probably other but they are the only ones i can confirm. The property backs onto railway tracks. Question being is do you guys think i should get back after her tonight or let her settle down for a couple days. With school i have very limited time and personally i really want to get back out there, but i also dont want to pressure her too much. My buddy sees her quite frequently standing in the lane when he comes out of the shop at night and she doesnt seem to mind.I think from now on im going to walk in down the tracks and come in from the back so as to not disturb the woods as much as i can. Opinions? Id greatly appreciate it.
