I was just wondering if anyone has ever bumped out a big mule deer buck in the backcountry out of a well used bed, and then went back in during rifle season to see if the buck had returned? I have been seeing large mule deer bucks on the same hill side for the past few years.
I went in this past week with my bow, and found them in there again. I made a stalk on the buck, got within 50 yds and waited there for hours. Then the sun set and the wind changed. I didn't see it but I heard the buck slip out. Very frustrating but I know it happens.
So I was just wondering if any one else has done something like this and went back during rifle or later on during archery to find the same buck had returned to his bedding area? I know that later on in the year they vanish,but I'm not too sure when it is this early, and it was a very mature buck that has obviously been around for a while.
