Would you hunt an area where a buck has been shot within 500 yards within the last 10 days? If not, how long would you wait? I saw a buck taken opening day on the backside of a hill I was glassing. I want to go back to the same area as it has a great vantage point but am wary of it due to the recent kill.
 
If you've seen the deer rutting in their you should have gone back maybe 5 days later. If theirs does there they'll be another buck in his place very quick.

I take that back if theirs other people hunting their not gonna leave the area alone so I'd have gone back at my next opportunity if you saw does you should have gone back their ASAP

Last year my buddy killed a buck in the morning and I killed one that afternoon in the same spot....
Don't wait!!
 
Thanks for the replies guys. Im head up for 4-5 days straight. Have two places in mind both have had bucks taken. One during archery and one on opening day of d-16. I guess we will see what happens.

Your good I shot 2 bucks 3 days apart on the same trail before
 
We saw a buck last night 200 yards from where cousins killed one 2 days ago. The deer will be spooked for a little, but you should be fine.
