Today was my last muzzleloader hunt as I'm out of town on business all next week. I took a doe today but from my favorite stand. For me, in central western Hickman County, Thanksgiving week through the end of November has been best for me to see mature bucks. How long do you think that stand is burned out? One week? Two weeks?
 
Burned out why? Because you shot a deer there? I wouldn't sweat it one bit. I'm hunting Hickman as well and hunted Thursday afternoon through this morning. Saw several small bucks pushing does with the biggest being a 6. He was easing around grunting and making a clicking noise that I've never heard. He was just standing there doing it for the longest. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks the bigger ones will get on their feet.
 
You might go back to that stand in the morning and kill a huge one it's that time of deer season
 
0 time. I shot a doe last year and she died right where she stood. 30 minutes later a 6 pt came by with 2 other does and smelled her and nudged her several times trying to get her to stand up because she was in heat. Didnt bother them a bit. There will be deer back there tomorrow morning.

You're all good, I have seen deer come right up to down deer after being shot and just hang around. I've also killed in the AM and killed again in the same spot in the PM. No worries
 
Took my son hunting yesterday, at 6:00 a big doe came through he got a good shot on her and she ran off. I told him we'd reload the muzzle loader and wait about an hour to give her time and to see if anything else comes through. About 25 mins later a nice 8 point came through and he got it too. (It had been a 9 point but had broken off its G2.) we waited about 20 mins after he shot the buck to recover them, while we were recovering the first one just over hill we had other deer blowing at us.
 
My boys killed 3 bucks off the same scrape in 5 days last year. The first and last were 3.5 and 4.5 bucks.
