I hunt at the Green Swamp...YOu are considered a good hunter to even see a deer here..
here is what happened this morning...I walked 1 mile to a hammock. At 7:30 ...a doe is 10 yds away looking at me.She smelled me ..blew and trotted off. At 10:00 AM I gave a bleat with "The Can" ..I think I hear a squirrel..I peaked to my back right..OH MY GOODNESS ...a serious wide 8 point is coming and he looks every bit of 175lbs..The rack looked a good 20" wide.He's 10 yds away..I froze hoping he would continue ot walk on BUT he stopped for 10 seconds..Stomped ..and trotted backwards..I'm sick...
Question..how soon would you go back and hunt that spot? Should I use my bleat again..rattle ..or just sit quietly. This is th eworst I've felt in years..I can't shake the depression.
I'd appreciate any advice.
