Title: I'm closing in on him!
Post by: jonsimoneau on October 19, 2008, 10:02:00 PM
I left a post here 10 days ago or so about an encounter I had with a big buck that ended up directly under my stand with no shot opportunities. Since then I have sat over 30 hours in various tree stands without a single deer sighting.  Tonight, I saw him again from a different stand.  He was working the same trail as before.  He got to the point where I had the original encounter with him and became very cautious.  I was watching all of this from "the backside"  I now know where I have to be in order to get a crack, as I know exactly where he is bedding.  It's a race against time, because when the take the corn out, he will be gone, as he is living in a very small area where the deer vacate every year once the corn is gone.  I gotta get him this week or the game is over!  He is not quite as big as I originally thought, but plenty big enough.  Wish me luck!!

Good luck Jon,,I've played that game before. In fact here in Indiana I have been playing cat & mouse with two good bucks that are hanging together. I've been close but no shots. They were staying in a small weed patch that had a corn field and soybean field that bordered each other that made a natural edge for them to use as cover. Once the beans were cut the bucks started coming out later. This past Saturday evening I finaly had the wind I needed to hunt them from the corn with my Ghillie suit,,as I was getting ready to go up the water way to set up,,the farmer pulled in to pick the corn!! Now it is just a weed patch with nothing around it ! They may still stay in there but I would bet anything that it will be DARK when they come out now. I wish you better luck.
