    I reckon you just keep hunting the general area. Not specifically that spot, but keep it in your mind to go thru there every now and then. Once you get the idea of how to approach, what the topography is and where the animals usually are, makes your hunting a lot more successful. The more pressure you put on a spot, the more likely the animals will move off.

    The stalking though, once you get into an area with fresh sign, slow right down, let your eyes do the searching, not your feet. Be really wind direction conscious. Look for small detail. An ear, an eye, swish of a tail etc.

    Make sure your rifle is sighted in and you are confident shooting it when you squeeze one off. No point in doing the hard yards if you cant hit the side of a barn with the bloody thing. I always check mine before I go hunting just to be 100%.

    My 2 c anyway.
