just spooked a big buck off my bait.will he be back?
« on: August 25, 2013, 07:57:18 PM »
i got to stay away from the darn area ive got set up.but i dont have cameras n i wana see whats coming in.
i had a doe eatin off the sweet cob i layed down.n i was crawlin up due to her being behind a tree to see what she was.she walked off so i got up to walk inside n there he was,everything i ever dreamed of.he bolted n i went inside.
i am sure this is the buck that is leaving the tracks behind my house.
my question is.will he be back or did i just ruin everything?

 I think he will be back. I spooked a good buck getting into my stand one day and he was back within a few days.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

That's the last you will see of him. He is over on my bait now!! :chuckle:
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.
