Default Is my stand set done for????

Gotta a set hung on a downhill ridge headed to a funnel that deer travel religiously. Doe harvested, quite a few deer seen there, couple of good rubs and now gotta a good scrape line going. Been hunting this set for almost 3 weeks now (approx 4 sits a weekend 2 morn 2 evening). Here's my question...had a nice 130" 8/9 point come in this morning on a string to my primos can call (nose to the ground). While paying total attention to him (bow in one hand can in the other) I had no clue there was a doe and 2 yearlings not 15 yds to my right (blind side). Well needless to say the doe spoiled everything for me and went bounding off with her yearlings right behind her (she never blew however). As soon as the buck saw them taking off, he then bounded off as well. Frustrated, I sat it out in pure silence for another 2 hours hoping to give him or her a chance to come on back thru. This set is loaded with white oaks and have seen deer feeding there. Is my stand pegged now and do you think I will see that buck again? Like I said frustrated......
