If you re-tap a tree or try and re-drill the same holes you are causing more damage to the trees. If you have access to new trees go and tap those you will get more sap.

If they were trees big enough 2 taps & you only had one you could drill a new hole on a different face & move the tap. That wouldn't hurt.
Thanks guys! I will look at other trees in the neighborhood.
No sap today, nothing running but my nose -
