Had a fork buck come in from behind me. As I turned to look at it, my stand made a loud noise. After approximately 3 minutes of walking around staring at me, he bolted off leisurely waving the white flag but not making a sound. Will he now check the same tree every time he walks by?

HE just might have to wait and see

Is he the only buck you think is in that area? Fork horns aren't to bright you should be ok

Will he look at that spot the next time he comes by, probably, but like canuck said, its a young buck and there not that smart yet. I wouldn't worry about it. If he does come by again, you will just have to be extra still so he think, Ok it was nothing, and continues on his way

lol i got busted..and it seemes the next day, they sat outside the property line just watching me to death..moved my stand that day..
i am planning on facing away from them this time, in hopes they will write off what ever they pass..
after they pass, i am hoping they will not look back anymore, giving me time to draw and shoot.

my daughter says to put a dumy in it...i told her you were already up there
its a good point..put a stuffed dude in camo up there..or a scarecrow lol..whatever...they will get used to it gl

It is not the only buck in the area. It is the smallest one of 4 that i have on camera. I wasn't intending to take a shot, i was just wondering if it was something i should be concerned about. Thanks for the input

Hmmmm, not a bad idea....
