Willdoes being chased run a circle?

The same big buck, I call the "boss of the woods" came right under my stand at 4:30 today on therun chasing a doe. The doe camedown the main run to my left and he was tying to cut heroff. He ranabout 3 1/2 yards under my right shoulder from behind me. No chance for a shot... he was gone.

This is the same old apple orchard I saw him in last Monday but couldn't get a shot as it was real early in the morning. Since then we have had a foot of snow that has melted but has wreaked damage to all the old apple trees. Many are broken and bent over.

Will a doe being chased run a circle and come back through?

Should I have tried to grunt the buck to a stop although I didn't have a good shot opportunity to my right? Also, I'm right handed so mybest shooting is in front or to my left.

I will be back in the same stand again in the morning.
