Dilemma and thoughts please

Unread postby Stevew77 » Fri Oct 26, 2012 8:58 am

I have been hunting one stand for a three mornings and undershot a shooter(didnt get winded though) buck the first morning, both mornings I had a button come through from the opposite way(80 yards) and didn't want to move if by chance Mack daddy comes back. This morning I watched as 6 doe, 3 bucks walked the same trail as the button on prior days, one of the bucks was close to a book deer for Sc. After I let them move on and a couple hours go by I decided to move my stand up 50 yards. Well after taking stand down and walking 30 yards I busted an unknown off the creek bank, 10 yards more and 3 more deer I was saying a bunch of bad words. My wind was good but I'm sure they had a visual. Apparently they made a loop and came back up the creek edge and I'm guessing bedded there. Well I was already in there so i hurried and hung my stand and got out without stinking the area up even more, I didn't check the thicket they came out of in fear that it was their actual beds. Did I ruin the place and or when would you hunt it? On the way out all I could think about was the bump and dump technique and I plan on being there before sunrise in the am. Thoughts?

You might want to retype that. I got a 1/4 of the way through and just couldn't read the rest. Horrid grammar, not trying to be rude but I can't understand ya buddy! :shifty:

HaHa! Sorry! Small phone and tired. To sum it all up I missed a nice shooter buck the first morning I hunted this particular area. This morning I watched 8 deer filter through at 80 yards so I decided to move a little closer to that trail. Upon doing so I busted 4 deer off the creek edge at 12pm. Hung my stand and got out of there before stinking the area up too much more.

At this point it cant really hurt if you have already busted them out of there. I wouldnt have very high hopes for the area myself. Chances are they have you and your stand location pinpointed

Yep... At this point you might as well give it a shot... I personally don't move a stand in deer season unless I plan on hunting out of it right at the time I hang it... Why go in there and spook the spot twice.

Yeah I know, it's just hard to believe they were so close and possibly bedding within 75 yards of me the first two hunts. Live and learn
