I have several places to hunt.
One of these places is shared with another hunter. It is his only place. So, I let him take first deer there. Then I get it after he gets his.
He got his yesterday, a doe. I went there tonite. Sat in the same stand that he had been in. Guts were below it, about 20' away. I'm sure he drove his pick up in to get her. Which was fine. He didn't do anything wrong.
I saw no activity there at all. That didn't surprise me. I figured last night must've shook them up after he got his, and all the commotion.
So......
Would you let this area rest for a while, so the deer go back to normal routine? How long?
