Advice needed

Unread postby bowtechjim » Sat Oct 31, 2020 12:16 pm

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

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.
