Guest iowabowhunter16 Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Well the day started off really bad. I didnt make it to the stand tell 7. I seen a little buck and doe in the field when i got there. I made it to my stand without bugging them. after 3hrs i seen nothing. The high was 88 and we all know how deerhunting goes in warm weather well tonight everyone thought i was crazy to go back out tonight. i got n the stand at 5. I was watching the field and seen nothing. well i just looked down at the base of my stand after scanning the field and i looked back up and seen the biggest buck of my life. This guy was the buck of my dreams. He was and the end of the field feeding and the wind was out of the south it was great. Well the wind changed on me and now its coming out of the east and i new he was going to wind me, but he kept feeding and he wouldnt come any closer then 100 years. I didnt know what to do this early in the season so i just sat there and watch him. So if it happens again what do i do in this kind of weather? What works this early to get them to come in? This is only my 3rd year so im kind still learning. This buck i know would have made B&C. Thanks all for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indianaboy Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Maybe just a few soft grunts. Nothing major though. Sorry it worked out that way. Good luck getting on him again!!1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuckkilla89 Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 If he comes out to the field again pay attention to where he comes out and if u have a climber move in on him the next day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 I don't know if I would have done anything. If the wind wasn't in your favor then I would have done nothing. Let's just say you give a few grunts and he came in closer, then he might have winded you. That wouldn't be good cause you might not see that buck for a long time. You cannot predict what big bucks will do, warm weather or not, they do move!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be back, just stay patient and confident. Good Luck to you this season can't wait to see a pick of the big boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultratec1 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Like others have stated, I wouldnt have done a thing!!! If he doesnt know that you're there then he has nothing to worry him. If he comes closer and winds you.......well like they say "they dont get big by being dumb!!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kid Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 i wouldn't try to call that buck in, maybe its just me but i would rather him not know anybodys in the area me or another deer. i would try and just get in a closer tree if you could do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bamaslamma Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 i agree with the others there is really nothing you could have done different to help the cause. if an old deers pattern is disturbed, hes gone. moving in closer to where he enters the field might work if he is bedding a good distance a way and you can enter from the opposite direction and only hunt when the wind is right. otherwise stay where you are and hope that doe takes him in range or......... wait till gun season:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
