Here's the scenario....
Hunted the same ridge and sage flats for three days last week end. We had great days repeatedly coming up on about four different groups of does (usually about 5 -7 in each group). Amongst all of these there were a few small bucks and one particularly large 3 point that seemed to be making his way between most of the groups. We know its the same buck because he is unusually big and his rack is almost perfectly symmetrical. Early on that week end in the same area I viewed some lucky fellows posing with a good sized 4 point through my binoculars.
We kept hammering the same ridge for all three days in the hope that with so many does in the area there was bound to be more larger bucks making there way through the area....No such luck!
Questions:
Was this the right approach or should we have moved on when we new that one large buck had already been taken out and the only other buck was not a shooter?
I am going out this Sunday....Should I go to the same spot with the hope that 1 week might be enough time for other bucks to make there way in to the area?
