I've never told anyone this.This story is true facts,Iwas there.These 2 old farm boys I knew and aways let me hunt,rented this farm.I knew was hot because the farmer that had owned it for 30 years had'nt let a soul on it, an he didi'nt hunt.So they said I can bow hunt,but the old farmer that use to own the farm don't let no one on his land exspicaly hunters.I laughed it off,and they both laughed.But I could tell they were'nt laughing with me but at me.But I thought to myself he'd been dead for 4 or 5 years.And let be bow hunt,no one else hunted it.Except them and they just carryed it around in the truck or on the tractor.Maybe the first couple of days of rifle season.
I scouted it out,hung a couple hang on's.I was on my 3th time walking in before day light.I had a 15 minite walk to get there 15 to 20 minites early to weight for daybreak.
All 3 times don't tell me how but I could just tell someone was following up the trail.I'd walked in the dark 100's and 100's to my stands in the dark with out a light,I've never used a flash light to walk in.And as I sat in my stands,I had that feeling that someone was watching me the whole time.I just can't explain it.
I had'nt hunted my evening stand yet.Waiting for the right wind.Now this place had deer wrote all over it.You could see the trails in the hard wood leaves with no problem.
I'd made 3 morning hunts and not a buck.I'm a buck hunter.I hav'nt seen a deer.Finlly the wind changed.I was there by 1 o'clock.Right away I heard the farmers I knew down in the lower field next to my morning stand.what a time for the wind to change.Ikmew the deer were running right by it getting away from the tractor.Again no deer.
When I got out of the truck,the next morningI heard them cutting corn.I knew my morning stand was at a trail 75 yards back leading from the corn.So I'd hunt that stand.Well after I climed up I heard the tractor headed up through the field.Again no deer.Wrong call.
Next morning as I got out of the truck.And sure enough I could hear the farmers headed down to the corn before first light.So I hunted the trail leading from the corn again.
The farmers were'nt cutting the corn they were plowing the field above it.Again after I saw no more deer. LeavingI saw the one guy at the barn so I stoped to talk.His brother came out of abuilding to talk.He knew I only buck hunted and knew I called in alot and calledup alot of bucks.
I said I'd had'nt seen a buck in 5 trips #@%&# I hav'nt seen a deer.Jokein I said I'd see alot more it you all'ed stop riding around on that tractor before day light.We'd just just got this tractor over to this farm.To start cutting corn.The one thats here's shot.
They looked at each other and just laughed as hard as they could.They said between gasps of air.Just the old man plowing or cuten corn.You can hear him every morning and eveninng,spring or fall.We herer him all tha time.Down next to that big point that runs out into tha corn.
Now these are old farmers carryed a gun all the time.No strangers to deer.He could'nt believe I'd hunt their 5 times an had'nd seen a buck.Theyed even see a couple 140's running around.
Well I told them where I'd put my stands.He said you did'nt put them there did you,more laughs.Right where that big finger of hard woods juts way out into the big corn field about half way.You can't hunt there,why not I asked,because the old lady who owns the farm said we could hunt any of the 900 acres but that 100 acres.Why I said,because thats where her husbands layed to rest.Right under those two beachnut trees.
Here's the kicker my morning stand 100 yards to the east of the corn field,evening srand 75 yards to the west of the beachnut trees.Why I had'nt seen it before scouting or just seting there.But there it was a grave and headstone surounded by a split rail fence.Sorry but there's no way it was their.No way I'd seen it for sure.It was'nt hidden I'd set there an seen the beach nut trees.And I looked that way all the time.BecauseThey reminded me of granddady.Because cas a boy they fish along the river under beachnut trees.Because lighting won't hit the.He said where they were from they were called INDAIN UMBRELLS.Anyway.
Left that part a lone hunted 6 more times saw 7 bucks killed an 8 point with my self bow.Been hunting it for 6 years,killer 9 bucks with my selfbows.No more tractors no one ever followed me again.
The farmer boys say they can still here the tractor fall morning.As for me I stay away from that point and that corn field.
