On Monday I went out at 3:30, spooked a deer out by my stand. Figured it wouldn't be back. So I went and sat in my blind. Then I changed my mind, went back down to the stand I spooked the deer out from. I wasn't there 30 minutes and she came back. Needless to say, she is in my freezer now. So, IMO, just because you spook one out, doesn't mean they wont be back after they think you left....
