a few weeks ago i had a smaller buck blow at me and circle around my stand for an hour and a half! if it were gun season he would have been toast....but he was about 40yds out through some light brush that I didn't feel i could take the sot with a bow.
so, yea...not the end of your hunt......it just means YOU NEED TO STAY EXTRA STILL FOR THE NEXT FEW MINS otherwise they will take off
