[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5718771, member: 20583"] I think there's a difference in how bucks get spooked. If you bump one as you're moving through the woods then you're as much threat as say a coyote on the prowl. He can move off and with a little time be safe to come back in because the danger will have passed. However, he's not going to establish a core area & bed next to a coyote den. That would be stupidly suicidal and defies every fiber of his nature. It's also what I imagine he feels like when he comes upon a permanent tree stand or blind that gets hunted often, or even encounters a hunter in the same spot consecutively in a short span of time. He reacts same way he would to a den of coyotes. He leaves for good because as a prey animal it's unsafe for him to rest in proximity to where a predator lives. I think it's really as simple as prey doing its best to limit exposure to predators. [/QUOTE]
