When you are " made" .
 

What do you do when you have been " made" by deer? Do you go on and hunt that specific area at that time or do you retreat and go somewhere else?

I suppose it depends on where I am hunting and if there is a specific deer I am after. There have been times I was " made" , usually on afternoon hunts and I retreated to another area. At other times I went ahead and hunted the intended area or spot. Do you have a specific rule and always follow that rule or do you play it by ear sometimes?

Not sure if you are referring to being made while in stand or on the way there. Either way I just hunt as planned.

like wimp I prefer to continue with my hunt as planned and if nothing else turn it into a learning experience as I' m sitting there try and figure out what went wrong....

Normaly I play it by ear, I go were ever I think that my chances are best. Wind and deer movement often make a diffrance too.

I usually just hunt the spot anyway. Then again it depends on the time of day and how badly the deer were scared. Like if its late evening and I scare three deer that run off snorting for the next 10 minutes I would just retreat out and hunt another day.

If I' m huntin a certain Buck and he sees me in the stand, then I' ll back out of there for at least 3 or 4 days, then set up in the same area, but another tree.
also, if the wind shifts the wrong way and I' m after a nice buck, I' ll get out and hunt another stand till the wind is right.
