I jumped five bucks while dumping corn this morning. Thay were bedded down on a ridge top near some hollies at 7:00 am. I got to fifteen yards of them and never saw them. When I dropped the bag of corn they took off like freight trains and scared the piss out of me. I havn't hunted near the spot this year and don't know why I havn't! I saw a blur of antlers, 1 REAL nice buck in the group. Anyways with a week of hunting season left how long should I wait to go back there in the morning to hunt? I know they have been pressured all season and might not come back if I spook them again to soon. I want to try the spot one time before next wednesday. How long would you guys let it sit???

And stay there from sunrise to sunset if you can.

Like Big Fox said, I would also wait a few days. Keep in mind also, which direction the wind is blowing and if you can, access your stand downwind from where you jumped up those bucks. Being that food is scarce this time of year and corn is rich in carbohydrates, your bait pile may be tempting enough for them to come in.
Good Luck!

DO NOT GO IN A HOUR 1/2 BEFORE SUNRISE do to the fact that if you scare them then(when its dark) they will never come back. Go in at light and go in slow working with the wind and slowing scaning the area as you go in. Also when its cold they like to lay on the south side of a hill do to the fact that the sun hits there ALL DAY so look at that to.
