There are is a group of 10 deer that come intoa draw in themiddle of a field that I hunt. They come in almost every day sometime after noon. I dont get off work until 2:30 at the earliest if I go in at 6am.The corn field is now chisel plowed, and the deer will not come across it now for some reason. I can't get close enough to these deer for a shot without spooking them. There are 2 monster bucks in the bunch of them. One is a big 14 and the other is a non typical that I counted 20 points on while looking through my binoculars. How do I get in position for a shot?

Vacation day!

You need to find something out, if you got them big boys hanging around.

Where do they bed? How do they get to the field? Can you intercept them on the way to the field? On the way back to bed?

snipe em' from a helicopter!

If you can't figure out any of the above then try this...

Get in early and set up in the field where you see them often, bring a pillow of some sorts.
Lay flat on your back down on the ground where you will be the most concealed. Position yourself in such a way that you can see them coming without having to move, hence the pillow (trust me!)

If you are still enough and lucky enough to be down wind, then they shouldn't be alarmed.
When the time is right, bend quickly at the waist and get ready for the shot. They may startle at this point but like most deer will likely stop 10-15 yards from where they spooked, broadside, and stare at you to see what you are. You'll have a couple second window here but it can be done. You should practice this shot btw.

sick day!

20 points?????????

give me the address please. no need to waste your sick or vacation days.

I say look where the deer are coming from and entering from, closely. Try to find a spot that will be down wind and hide (behinde a tree, make a ground blind)and try to get a shot. If you don't get a shot don't worry, just learn onwhyyou didn't get one and tryagain the next day or when you have another day you can do it. If you spookbucks of this age they will not come back to that spot for a whileif ever. Hazcon7's technique is waaaaay to risky, because if you screw up or if it doesn't work out those bucks are not coming back. Good luck!

If I were shotgun hunting, I would definatlely try Hazcon7's technique. I might use a sick day, but I am going to wait until next week to do that. Using a sick is how I got a doe early in the season. The problem with this property is that there isn't a whole lot of cover for the deer. They mostly come in because there is a water source, but lately I havn't seen them do that. They are beding mostly on the fence line. I talked with a guy that I work with and he suggested using a slingshot and shooting rocks behind the deer the bring them closer to me. Anyone think that will work? I think I might try to set up closer to where they are crossing the road to get into the field at.
