RE: i got busted............now what?
Yeah, I got pinched back in Oct. Pretty much the same scenario. I only saw the buck again on my trail camera a couple times. The one thing against me was this was public land. Once people started pounding around in that spot for the 4 day antlerless hunt a couple weeks later, that was the end of him for me anyway. If it was just you on your own land and only getting busted once, I would think you have a better chance of seeing him again. Hopefully anyway...

RE: i got busted............now what?
Not looking a deer directly in the eyes is a good piece of advice. Think about it, you see him, he sees you, you blink, he's gone!
As far as a deer lowering his head as a decoy to make you move, I think that's giving the deer too much credit. They ain't that smart. If a deer has doubts about what he sees, he will continue to look until he's either satisfied all is OK, or he feels a direct threat and reacts immediately. I have seen deer look at me for minutes trying to identify exactlywhat I was. Not only that but they never moved one step in that time. As far as a strategy, I would hunt the same area. You can either hunt the same tree or move to give a better vantage point. If you want to hunt from the ground just make sure you play the wind. Good luck, go getem! |
