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 and keep us posted!
To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

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.
"Good Luck" & "Shoot Straight!"

The most frightening thing you are likely to encounter in nature is yourself.
