Do you keep hunting the Buck or move on to the next spot?

I spotted a nice Buck on Friday morning at about 1030am within 100 yards from where I spotted him in August. I was waiting for him to bed in the timber and then he spooked. I then watched a mountain lion walking across the montain behind him. The Buck disappeared into a bigger timber patch and the lion came out the otherside and looped above and downwind of the bigger timber patch. I hiked over and above both of them about 4 hours latter and still hunted until dark with no luck. I did the same thing the next morning and only saw the forky near where I had last seen the lion.
Would you keep hunting this Buck?

Shoot the lion he is killing your deer. Of course if it's not legal were you are I would never recommend such a thing.

Lion season is open and I do have a tag. If I go back and see ravens, it will turn into a lion hunt :)
