Busted by buck. Sit tomorrow?

[IronBucks]

I was busted by a buck walking to my stand on a small 20 acre property in the suburbs this evening. He was walking straight at me and got within 15-20 yards of be before he scented me. He ran off a ways and stared at me for a bit. I only hunt bow there because of the proximity to houses.

I can only do one sit tomorrow, do you think I should sit morning or afternoon? He's the only big boy I've seen and caught on camera there with a few doe.

You have others ways to the stand/blind/sit area?

As long as the wind is in your favor there is no reason to not hunt the spot.

It's a long thin property with one way in.

Hunt it , if there are houses around then he's ran Into to people many times before .

I've killed a deer or two in the suburbs , listening to kids playing,lawn mowers,watching dog walkers,30 yards from a house.....

Good hunting!

Why didn't you shoot him?

Why didn't you shoot him?

 

I was leaving that question to someone else.................

My guess is that it was straight on and he had a bow.

[IronBucks]

Correct. He was walking straight at me for the entire time I saw him and I was hunting bow.

He stopped 50-60 yards away to check me out for a while. Too bad I can't hunt gun on this property because I had him at a perfect broadside shot for at least 45-60 seconds...but it was too far for my bow range. He hopped off and stopped again at about 100 yards then slowly walked off.

Props for not taking a less then ideal shot, i get tired of the " i made what i think was a good shot and now i can't find my deer " threads

If it was me I'd go in mid day when he's bedding down and try to catch him in the afternoon those does could be his safety blanket get past them and he will most likely follow

Hunt .... he's not going to show up in your living room !
