I need your guys thoughts on this one. This morning after hunting for a while my partner and I decided to check out another spot about a mile away from where we usually hunt. This spot hardly gets hunted because when on the stand it is very likely that you will put in alot of time on the stand and not see any deer. Where as our other places you almost always see deer.
Anyway, when we were in there checking it out we found alot of good signs (rubs, scrapes, trails, and a couple of does). On our way back out we jumped a very nice 5X5. He waited untill we were only about 10 yards before he jumped and trotted off. We had to be within 30 yards of him for about 10 minutes before we jumped him. We quickly looked for a couple of good trees for a stand and got out.
My question is should we put up a stand right away and the back off or wait awhile before putting one up? I would like to know what some of you would do. Thanks
