This afternoon I scared up a bedded deer as I was stalking through the bush. What do you think the chances would be that he'd bed back in the same ridge tomorrow morning?

Rob, so many scenarios with this. The animals are smart.. we are assuming... don't assume.. just go and HUNT!
 
I'd go back and hunt the ridge. I just couldn't resist finishing off snowshoe's lead in.:dancingbanana:

When I was in Fort Mac and new to deer hunting my hunting strategy was to drive the cut blocks on a Saturday and observe where I jumped deer. Then on Sunday I would arrive at dawn, park several hundred yards away and slowly stalk into the location. Took a buck every year for four years that way.

if the deer didn't start screaming at you and just ran away he probably only went 50 yards and then stood and looked back at you
I would hunt him/her.
if it was a Doe then maybe just maybe a buck will follw her and you will get a good chance at a good deer

I'm heading up north today for an evening hunt and morning hunt
the bush we hunt is so emense that to leave and try hunt another place would be crazy:runaway:
 
I went back to the same ridge (sort of), tucked myself in along the trails leading from the front fields to try and intercept...didn't see anything though. A good size piece of land with lots of options for the four legged ones ;)
 
I once spooked a mulie out of a small group of trees on the side of a cut and then spent the next 4 hours rattling him in and chasing him away. When I finally walked out I looked back through the bino's and he was back in, bedding down for the night. He wasn't there the next year when I was actually drawn for mulie in that wmu.
 
It is said that mulies are born and die within the same two square miles. So if not in exactly the same bed, he might be awful close.
 
if learned anything in the years of deer hunting,,,,,, there is NO ryme nor reason. there is a good chance he is there again and there is a good chance he isn't. Just be very alert and causious cause he will be, and don't forget the wind current.
They are full time deer, we are part time hunters.
