Well I need some beast advice.
Hunting top 1/3 of a ridge this evening and I had one of the bigger bucks I've ever seen at 40 yards. Too much brush. I grunted at him a couple times and he turned and went back the way he came in.
He never saw or smelled me. Low pressure private land that borders public.
Here are my options. I have the same wind tomorrow
A. Do I hunt the same exact setup?
B. Do I move closer to where i saw him?
C. Do i hunt a completely different spot and let this one rest?
Let me know what you guys think

Go back.
Get closer.
Leave the grunt tube at home.

Yep, go back and make a small move. Closer if possible.

Yep go back go closer, bring the grunt call, better to have it and not need that see one at a distance and be helpless.

Re: Advice needed
If you got a pic 20 yards from your tree think about why you hunted that tree and what advantages and disadvantages you'd have there vs moving closer to where you saw him.
