Big hunt - what give up are those the words I hear you saying.. Never do that . Id go to that very same spot again this afternoon and try again. Every year I see deer in the same area regardless if its the first weesks of bowseason or the first days of Rifle season. They may not come within that 15 yard span you were at but they will be somewhere close by. Try Again thats what this sport is all a matter of timing. GOOD LUCK to You
