Default Whadda ya do when you get busted?

Changed spots yesterday and found the motherload...of does. Last night I counted 11 so I headed back this morning (could hardly sleep!). By 0900, I stopped counting deer at 19 does, and two bucks (one 6pt and the other barely 4). At one point, I saw 9 together!!!! They continued to cross a field all day long.
Anyway, later on in the day I was getting ready to draw on a doe at 15yds when I got busted by the small 4pt. He didn't wind me but looked right up at me, did the head-bob, and bolted; takin my doe along with him.
Should I hunt the same area or move down the trail (I can't hunt tomorrow since there is no hunting on Sundays in MD)? As the sun was setting, I continued to see deer but none were close enough for a high percentage shot.

Thanks for your advice.

I would sit there. You only spooked 2 deer out of how many?? A spot that hot is too good to let go unsit.

I would sit it again, and if you get caught again, just move your stand to a different tree close to the same area. They will look for you in that one tree, but not in all of them.

Just stay there. You haven't done any major damage to your spot.
