This hunt actually started to develop on Wednesday Nov 16th. Jay Curole and I were scouting and came across a bean field that was being used heavily. We eased into an area up wind and when we saw what was in the field we immediately started to plan the best way to hunt these bucks. There were 2 mature bucks out at noon. The first one we saw was feeding and then he looked up and we were excited when we saw what had his attention, a BIG Midwest buck! The kind you come here for! He was cruising, head down and scent checking the field. We watched them both leave the field and headed back out to the truck to plan the hunt. I set my stand in a pinch point on the edge of the field in a tree that offered the best opportunity given the wind direction. This hunt I had a nice 8 come out but my bow was on the ground, as I’d not long got there. My camera was set up and I couldn’t shoot so I videoed the deer. After he was out of sight I finished setting up and pulled my bow up. Not 20 mins later another decent 8 comes out and he stayed out at 45-50 yards so again I videoed this one as well. Got back to camp and showed everyone the videos and was pumped! This is an evening set and I couldn’t wait to get back in the stand Sunday! I’m in the stand at 2:30 pm the next day ready to hunt! At about 3:10 the larger 8 I filmed the previous day shows up and begins to feed my way just inside the tall grass on the field edge. I turned on my camera and began to video. After about 7-8 minutes he was in range! I drew my Tree Stick back and sent the arrow at him! Thwaack! Perfect pass through at @ 30 yards, heart shot! Blood was pouring out of both sides! Jay was 450 yards or so across the field and watched the deer running after the shot and told me later he saw blood pumping out of him as he ran off. He piled up not 20 yards after I watched him exit the field! Deer number 2 with my Trad Bow, on video, self-filmed and it was a nice buck! Tagged out in KS 4 days into an 8 day hunt with a trad bow! What an awesome experience!
