RE: Killed the dominant buck, now what?
Hours/minutes/seconds point is very quickly!!!! If ladies are around, bed is near, concealed travel routes, etc there will be many bucks roaming and while you killed a dominant buck that is not say their isn' t a same size or bigger bucks still running the area. During the rut bucks put on miles and can move in to an area in a blink of an eye, last fall we took 3 mature bucks within a 1000 yard radius-all 3 were rattled out and we saw several other bucks (not all mature but still roaming) the chase phase was on and they were cruising hard looking for love.
