Do You Stay Or Do You Go?

[Tyla 3,179]

This evening I sat on a ride in a quite a big wood I stalk in. I left it half an hour to settle then gave a few peeps on the buttolo and instantly had a doe come charging in, she came in to about 20 yards, and eyed me up (I was sat on the ground, not in a seat) she knew something was there but wasn't sure what. She came close, barked, bounded off, came back again barked a bit more, went off came back etc. This carried on about five minutes before she finally buggered off into the wood barking all the way. I stayed put but saw nothing else, which isn't unusual in this place.

 

This is the second consecutive time this has happened in the same wood, I think with the same doe, last time no call and I was in a high seat. She came along the ride virtually to the bottom of the seat before she saw me that time but went through the whole barking and returning process.

 

My question is, if I get busted like this am I better to move to a different spot?

Maybe so but its an easy place to spend a couple of hours without seeing anything anyway, its a big wood with lots of bendy rides so you can only cover a small part at any one time. I am just interested to see how long people think an alarm like that affects the area. I shall try and avoid that doe's patch from now on though!

Im guessing its munties you are calling and roe doe thats barking .Any alarm call is best moved away from imo except in the rut .If its a muntie barking at you however then i would stay as she may have a buck in tow at any one time .Just nice to see though mate .Call in a different place .

Think I'd stop using the call & just see what comes along ..

bendy rides - means lots of ambush points
