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!

Re: Dilemma and thoughts please
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.

Re: Dilemma and thoughts please
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
