Will the buck return?

[bikeoutback]

I got busted last night drawing on a buck that I rattled in, screwed up big time. I'm going to go search for a doe I gut shot last night again tonight to give it the full effort I feel I need to give to recovering her and then practice shooting to get my confidence back and try and make it automatic to draw and shoot but thinking I gotta get back in the saddle.

Do I hunt the same stand again and rattle again or switch stands and rattle again? I can move to the next stand over on the 40 acres I'm hunting, basically same parrallel on the property but move from west corner to Eastern middle part. Would I be better going over to the next stand and trying? Thinking tomorrow giving it one last shot, then friday let the woods sit and saturday gun opener.

Also should I rattle late morning saturday morning?

I've never rattled one in like that so I'm not sure how to approach or what my plan of attack for him should be?

I would definately let the area settle down for a few days before going back in there to try and hunt again. Maybe even a week. Odds are that he is going to stay clear of that area for a good time before he will start to cruise it again. However, with the rut looming, who knows what a buck will do if he gets onto a hot doe. Either way, I'd still back out for a couple days and let it cool off.

A insubordinate will return, a mature that got wind of you, probably not.

Either way I'm with Musky back out for a week..

He'll return if a doe leads him in. Otherwise he probably will avoid the area. The big ones don't get big by being dumb.

I'm with other dudes, depending how "mature" this stud is will determine if hell be back. However even a smaller buck may avoid the area for while?? Gd luck man
