i have too scared off deer just to have them return within minutes, sometimes an hour.
How do you know it just didn't avoid the camera? I've watched deer walk
behind the tree with the camera mounted on it, so if I hadn't been there, I'd have never known the buck was even in the area. Lesson: cameras are good, but never tell the entire story.
edit: Others beat me to the punch (lesson to me...read entire thread before responding! LOL)
Great advice, everyone. Pretty much what I figured (ie. just sit tight) but it's still good getting feedback from other hunters, for reassurance if nothing else.
