whadda ya think??
 

sunday at noon i went to check on stands from last year for the opener this coming monday and i jumped a buck in a unhunted point sticking out into a field. it is lower than the field and has a creek running through it. the buck was jumped at 1:30 on sunday. come october 8th, i am going to try to jump him again and get a shot. here is my game plan:

get hunting spot at 5:15
hunt till 8 am
drive deer at 9 on unhunted property with pals
try to jump this buck at 1:30
hunt from 2:30 on till dark

thats opening day plan.

The question is: do you think this buck will be in this point again?? it is only 20 yards by 100 yards. it isnt too thick, but i walked within 15 yards on sunday before he jumped up. he ran maybe 30 yards and stopped and looked back. i remained motionless and watched. he is only about 40 yards at this point. he eventually flicked his tail and trotted off. do you think that he will be here b/c it is safe and unhunted or do you think that he will be somewhere else since hunters will be everywhere??? in my eight years of hunting, i have never dared step foot in a deers bed (although i know the advantages) but feel that this buck is just toooo big to pass up. do you think that since i bumped him once, he will be gone for a while??? any help or insight would be great. thanx

No promises, but I'd look for him to be there again, especialy if you didn't spook him to bad

Might be there. Durring rifle, I always look for deer in the bed room. Its the best place to find them, and they usually come back. so what if they don't.

if hes not in his bed then he should be near by
