Missed with a Bow Right? As long as he didn't see or smell you, you might be alright. But he didn't get Older by being stupid. I wouldn't over hunt him though..Good Luck

About 4 years ago I wounded a 10 point. It was a 138 incher. It was 10 yards, and I had one of the adjustable sights where You slide the back of it to the yardage marks. Mine was set at 30. I hit it really high. It lived, and the next week My cousin was hunting out of the same treestand, and killed that deer it came the exact way it did when I wounded it. As long as they don't know what happened they'll come back.

every buck is different, but hopefully you will get another crack at him!

He'll be more leary, but if your rut is in full swing like ours, he'll be back. Just don't overhunt that area, as stated before.

Move your stand at least 50 yards. You most likely won't get a shot from the same stand that you shot at him from.
