Great advice, everyone. Pretty much what I figured (ie. just sit tight) but it's still good getting feedback from other hunters, for reassurance if nothing else.

well, when ya get 20 pics a day of deer comin to the feeder, and then they stop when you reset the cam, and show up 3 days later..to the tune of 600+ pics over a few weeks..its very obvious.

Stay put is exectly right. Its frustrating and you are angry and throw many ideas into your head but the bottom line is that you NEVER know whats going to happen.. whether he altered your hunt or not you may never know.. but its good to just stay put and take what comes. As someone mentioned earlier, just enjoy your night out and keep your head up. "**** happens"
