I like to know if I got Busted by the Main doe in the herd. How long do I have to wait until I can hunt that stand again? By what I mean by getting busted she seen me move and went down wind of me to try and wind me. But she didnt so she came in on me from down wind and stad for about 15 - 20 min. and I got a cramp in my arm and had to move it . She seen me move and ran off blowing but stoped out about 50 yds. and walked her way to the thickets.
Can I hunt that stand ever again?

Yep Sounds like I did the right thing and not hunting that spot for three or four days. I really dont want to move the stand because its a great little funnle that a nice 13 pointer is using.
Maybe I will let it go for 5 days the rut should be in full swing here in Ohio then and then I can use my decoy to draw attn: away from my stand.
Yes she did stomp her right foot for alittle while but then she came in alittle closer to try to group up with the other two deer that was right in front of my stand. But thats when I moved my arm alittle and she seen that. But she didnt run but 40-50 yds.
Thanks for the the info.
