So I'm on my first elk hunt/ spike. I ran into heard of about 10-15 head. Cow spotted me first and I stood still for a while while I watched the heard bull bugle. I couldn't move cuz there was always someone seeing me. At some point the herd bull charged out of my field of view and I heard trampling behind me and there was a spike about 30 feet from me. At that point that point I'm not sure if the herd was spooked because of the commotion with the spike or if they saw and smelled me but they all took off running into the woods. How long should I wait until I go back to that area?
Total noobie here but excited to learn.
