As I was driving Home from work, I find a Deer in the field right by my family farm 300 yards from my front Door. It is a very nice Buck and a Doe. There were cars and trucks all over, watching it. I go to the house and get my bow and walk down the ditch get within 20 yards and stand up to see them the doe spooks and runs off 1/2 mile to the other side of farm. I drive close and park on grave road, then I walk out in to the field hunched over walking toward them when I get around 200 yards I make some grunting sound and a few bleats. I keep moving closer. I was at 70 Yards and they ran off, I repeated this for 30 min, getting within 60 yards 4 times and every time they ran off a little. So I sat down, and keep grunting and making a bleat sound. the Doe couldn’t take it she keep walking back to see what I was( I was still in my work clothes and a black Carhart coat with only a bow 3 arrows and a range finder ) she lead the buck back to 40 yards in the middle of a picked soybean field no cover

Great Buck! Nice shot! You did it right and capitalized on the opportunity! Good job!

I have 10 bow kills from a little over a year of hunting in Texas, so I can appreciate what you did and how you must feel. Jeff

That's a once in a life time deal, I've bowhunted for 20 years and have never had the chance at a whitetail like that. Good for you.

That is a damn nice deer, but you were supposed to herd it up towards my house damn it!

Congratulations!

Must have been one of those ever so rare Judas does. You need to hang a collar on her so you can find her next year too.

I've done the bare corn or bean field stalks many times, just like you, hunched over and never directly at the animal. Works pretty well, but I haven't worked it to bow range distance.

I love the symmetry and size of that buck. Hope his big brother is about 3-4 miles to your west. I'll be out there in a month....

He's a nice wide buck. Congrats. Those girls can get you in some trouble.
