I envision a weed field such that no weapon would allow you to get a clear shot. Head high thickness, you might see a rack above the brush here or there. MaybeI am just seeing something differernt cause one of the places I hunt has a field as I describe.

Heres another thing i forgot about. Nextyear thereis going to be corn on the other side of the weed field. So it would be woods, weed field corn.With a fence row running in between the corn and the weed field and also one connecting it to the woods.

Wait for a windy day and stalk him from down wind. Weeds are moving n wind and you can keep an eye on him whole time.

Stick a scare crow in the field for a month or two. Let the buck get used to that. During rut, replace the scare crow with yourself and have at him!

Problem Solved!

Well I myself had a problem with this last year at the start of opening season for bow. What my problem was that the deer had an arrow wound his left hind leg and he had a bedding area in the middle of the soy beans. All I could do was site there and wait it out. So after a good 2 solid hours I started to softly grunt at him. This some how got him to stand up look strait at the woods and come at me with a jog. Even though he ranged at45 yards he would come into the woods. So keep given him the soft grunts.

Have you hunted him in the morning? Or do you absolutely know that he is bedded in that field from dawn to dusk?

Yes i have seen him in the field in both morning and evening hunts. He gets up moves around and laysback down. As far as i know he staysin the fieldall day. I have had someone tell me they had a real nice buck run out in front of their car one night, within a few hundred yards of where he stays. but not for sure if it was him or not.

If he is entering that field after legal shooting light u can get him. If he is leaving that feild during legal shooting light u can get him. u just have to find out what trail he is entering and or leaving. Also with a corn field being planted on the other side of the woods. u shouldwatch to see if he is traveling between the two fields and maybe set up a trail cam if u have one.(preferably an infrared trail cam so u don't scare him or other deer.)
