It depends on how bad you spooked him and how old he is. It doesn’t sound like he was spooked too bad but he’ll definitely be more cautious with that area. I would keep hunting the stand as you normally would with good conditions and rest it as you normally would. But, I would give him time to come back through the area without having the same scare. Basically, give him a few extra days on top of the normal time in between hunting that stand. They don’t typically leave an area completely unless really scared so at most he will probably just alter his route for several days.


I hope we have once again reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There�s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts. � Ronald Reagan
