Well I'm bummed out today!!!

[Stonegod]

Chuck, do you think it'll take them long to return to the area? As I said they just slowly but alertly walked (no running) away.....acted nothing like when I would actually bust a group of bedded dear.

I would say if they didn't come back at all they got buggered a bit. Would say a day or two but you don't have much time now so hunt them if you can, esp. after this warm up passes and it gets cold again.

Hey Stonegod, Nice shot on the bunny..They eat good too! Hate to hear about your second shot, but it happens. So are you going to start watching the barometer a little closer now? I know I have since hearing about it. If momma didnt bust out of there with a bunch of concern, I would be right back in there if the wind is right, Time is clicking off this week quickly. I wish you the best of luck! I too am pressing the issue this week, hunting my house where the odds are better...would like one more doe for wintercamp Backstrap....

well its a guess on if or when a deer will come back
but I have shot at and missed a deer 2 evenings in a row, and had him come out again on day 3 too, juts never offered a good shot
so, I say if winds are right , hunt, odds are theer are more then these 3 deer in your area, and since they didn't really see you, or guessing they didn't, they could be back next day
Hunt, thats the best way to up your odds! and time is ticking!

Well Stone that is the largest k-nines I have ever seen on a rabbit. What did it score? sike....outstanding shot though, with only a couple days left of deer season I would be in blind if I didn't have to work. Go getem

[Whitetail Freak]

ill be out for sure while at the campout trying my luck ya never know could be 4th down n 2 mins left and BAM touchdown deer down that would be sweet

Get back out there, time is running out. I'm surprised they spooked that bad from a crossbow unless they are much louder than a compound. I've killed a few deer over the years that I missed first and they didn't go anywhere because they thought it was a nut falling or something. But I was in a treestand too and that makes a difference.
