Default Should I move my stand?

I was hunting tonight and had a real nice buck come in, but it was too dark for a shot. He came in so slow, I have a feeling he is on to my tree. I waited for a half hour after dark, but still spooked him on my way out. Should I move to another spot?...or give the area a rest for a few days?

I would rest it a day or two. Maybe he did not know what you were
as you made your exit. Hopefully he did not scent you. Hopefully
next time he will pass in good shooting light. Good luck getting him.

Give it a week and next time through your water bottle on the ground before you get down from your tree. Ya can't ever let'em see you get out of the tree.

Why not move your stand in the direction in which he came from. He most likely came from his bedding area, set-up closer to his bedding area and maybe you'll catch him with more daylight to work with.
