thoughts on bumping bucks while walking out?

hey gus i went out this morning and as i was jumping the fence to walk out i bumped one of my big bucks that was bedded with three doe. How long do you think i should wait to go back in after him

 

Is your stand close to the area they were he was bedded down? Can you still get to your stand without bumping him further?
If it was me, and I could get to my stand without being noticed, I would have just carried on. I have bumped deer walking to my stand and still had success.
I wouldn't worry to much about it. Maybe try and find another way in next time.

 

sorry i didnt make if very clear.. i was on my way out this morning when i bumped him.

 

Do you have any other ways to get to that stand?

 

Should have set up a stalk right away! How far away is your stand from where you bumped them.

 

I understand. Just saying I would have kept going.

 

Well the stand I was in was if say a 1/4 mile from where I bumped the deer

 

You'll never see him again. He is gone. Forever.

 

I don't think anyone can predict what the deer will do... I have bumped deer before walking in. Sat down... And within 30 mins later they came back. You just never know! When I shot my Kansas buck in September he was with 3 other bucks. I bumped all those deer getting out of the stand. 10 days later my buddy shot the biggest buck of the three out of the same stand.

This weekend I bumped my target buck in Nebraska on my way out of the stand. Hard telling if he will move or stick around. You never know. One things for certain, I won't know unless I get back in there!
