Will a buck return to a spot he was scared the day before...this specific buck was a dandy, who was grunting on the trail of a doe, about 15 minutes behind her? He did not blow when he took off...and he didnt stop once to " check: the air, he was after a doe.
Here is the whole deal: I was hunting a funnel in some big balsams between the edge of a recently cut hardwoods, and a swamp for the 1st time. I put up my climber in the middle of the balsams so I could shoot both ways...anyway I see a couple deer, but the the excitement starts around 4:30... I can hear a deer coming at me. I see him about 100 yards trotting, and grunting on the edge of the hardwoods...a dandy. He followed the same exact trail a doe took about 15 minutes before that...I draw....at around 50 yeards in a shoooting land I tried " errrr" trying to get him to stop...nothing...againI " errr" .....nothing, he keeps trotting and grunting...finally my last attempt " errr" stopped him, but he is now past me at around 25 yards and no clear shot.., he stops and takes off to where he came from. No stopping, no blowing...just took off. In hindsit, I should have waited to past so I could undraw without him busting me, and try to grunt him back. My question is, will he be back. I want to go back tomorrow night the worst way, just reposition myself about 100 yards from where I was tonight...what do you guys think???
