RE: Big buck almost down scenario...thoughts?
Well, I spooked the yearlings out with my bow in the leaves just at dark. They weren't too scared, just enough to get out of the field, and I'm pretty sure they had no idea what it was since you could barely see anything. I could only see their tails when they jumped into the brush. Once I got down, I didn't hear them anymore, nor did I bust anything on the way out (I have two or three exit routes in this stand). I just don't know if that would bother them, causing them to not come into the field anymore (or early enough) which in turn may not draw him back out there again. I'm convinced the only reason he showed himself was that I had doe in that field all evening feeding.
