fadetoblack188 Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 It is, which is why I’m saying I would prefer a straight west wind. its a north / north west wind tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fadetoblack188 Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 I’ll be watching the wind constantly. If it ain’t right I’ll sit in the stand. Hopefully the snow comming down won’t keep them bedded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjac Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Try some doe piss on a drag line and zig zag drag from where you see him to your range then broadside and away 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubborn1VT Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Somebody loan this man a ghillie suit or leafy jacket! I would but I am many hours away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRod 8G8H Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 No blind or he'll never use that field again. I would go with a ghillie suit or like someone said before a ghost blind. These are semi aggressive options. Rattling now might work it's late enough in the season along with a buck decoy. I've had good luck in December rattling. Good luck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFA-ADK Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Good advice from all. I would also try calling him in, if that does not work go after him! Ghost blind would be the way to go, perfect for that situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fadetoblack188 Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Maybe I’ll get there early and drop some doe pee from where I see him , back to my stand I think it’s to late for estrus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonTypical Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Sometimes the best chance to kill him is when you are borderline of getting winded. A mature buck is almost always going to use the wind in their favor, not when it’s in your favor. Set up in a steady marginal wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TreeGuy Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I'd bet he beds close enough to the field to see you coming. If he's mature, you may only get one chance at him. Trying a doe or buck decoy near your stand would be a good option, as it shouldnt spook him away but could draw him in to you. If that doesn't work, your gonna have to wait for a good wind and get in where your seeing him in the field.

Daveboone Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 If he is there everyday, he came from somewhere and will be going somewhere. My guess is that figuring where he is going from the field is the best bet...wait him out for when he leave the field, give him some time and check out his route. Then plan your ambush.

fadetoblack188 Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 I am not happy with the wind tomorrow. I don’t wanna f it up. as much as I want to go I am not going to. I am going to stick it out and wait for a better day. I will keep you guys posted thank you for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonTypical Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) If you’re not hunting it today, I would get out there with some binoculars before first light and figure out exactly where he exits the field and figure out where you want to be. He may or may not use it he same trail if the wind changes, but you never know. You have him patterned, you just need to fine tune it.

Don’t sleep on the Gilligan suit either, you lay the hat on the ground in the field, the buck thinks it’s quicksand and goes around it right into your setup. I’ve seen that work many a time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it gets me a deer, all the better. Although the captain's suit fits a bit better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
