I bumped a pretty good buck out of his bed yesterday. He was bedded down under a tree top that was cut last year. He jumped up and took two big leaps before turning and looking at me. I got to draw but he walked behind a tree before I could release.

He didnt seemed alarmed or blow , just walked off. I think I have his scrape and rub line figured out but did not expect to bump him out. It was 2:30 in the afternoon.

My question is ; Will this buck leave the area or remain. I covered his scrapes to see if he will re freshen them or if another buck will.
