Well, hurry on over to stand No. 2 or 3 and hunt there the rest of the day. You'll enjoy the elbow room and feel safer to boot. And you've probably got a better chance of scoring since that dude made a lot of noise and scented up the first area. Hunt those stands in traditional spots for the first two or three days of the season. Whitetails feed several times a day in convenient fields, mast flats and the like.
Bucks run rub lines and scrape lines in the same places each year.
The big bucks burn with an overriding desire to breed, and they look for hot does in familiar funnels and pockets of cover. So despite the pressure, you might whack a good deer that's sticking to his normal pattern. After a few days of intense pressure, however, most old bucks turn nocturnal. Your best chance to see one is in early morning or late afternoon when they are coming or going to feed. Hunt a stand back in the woods, in an area where the deer trails funnel together, and be ready at daybreak.
