Default RE: Will he be back?

If he is a wise old buck, he will likely avoid that particular spot for a while, but I doubt he will be totally gone from the area. I would hold off hunting that area for at least a few days unless it is your only place to hunt. It is best to avoid pressuring him any more since it is a fairly small block of land - you don' t want him to vacate the premises!

Big bucks will generally stick close to the place they feel the safest until the rut kicks in. If his core area is nearby, he will probably stick around as long as he doesn' t get pushed any more than he already has been.

If it were me, I would wait a few days and then set up in another place along the same run but away from your original spot. Good luck!
