BIG BUCK BEDDED AT 60 YARDS! Iowa Public Land Gun Hunt – DEER TOUR E54

BIG BUCK BEDDED AT 60 YARDS! Iowa Public Land Gun Hunt – DEER TOUR E54

Posted on September 7, 2019 by Seth Koss


I bet you that’s been money as impact
the whole time hey guys sorry we were just looking at the roof let me ask him
hey sir have people been making it down there yeah we we didn’t want to try it
we just wanted to see if people were going in there yeah yeah no we weren’t
gonna try it we just wanted to see if anybody was attempting good luck I told
him good luck he’s not hunting it’s good time though yeah no one’s been back
there for a while cuz I just had the cameraman laughs there all right well we
drove in here to check this road out and we figured it was gonna be pretty soft
and it doesn’t look like anyone’s been driving in there and it’s really the guy
that lives right there came outside and got his dogs and said that he hasn’t
seen anyone in there for a while now so that’s that’s a good sign for us yeah
there’s really no access to this piece and the way we got to walk ins real
strange and we give it a go let’s get after it no full sun give her gas
a little bit here what’s this truck even made of Logan and I are making our way under
this piece of public there’s a cornfield way over there we think there’s a lot of
deer feeding in there but the reason that we think they’re gonna be feeding
there is that feels really isolated it kind of goes out on a point way out
there in the river bottom all the roads accessing that field are
really really muddy but there is one access it’s just a
longer walk that’s when we came to and nobody’s been walking in here as far as
we can tell there’s no boot tracks some fresh deer tracks pretty close to the
road we’re not really sure where the pressure has been in here but we assume
as we get closer to that field there’s gonna be less and less pressure just
because so far away from the only available access right now
got good conditions though snow feel good man I think we could see some some
serious to your activity it’s a cool night to be hunting not really the most
fun trying to keep the camera job but hey we’re gonna do our best cuz that’s a
good day let’s get after him do you see him no no I don’t well spotted that bucked but then
probably that 50-60 large of us that maybe even closer we’re just walking
along this point right along the woods here quad and very slow and very quiet
just stood right up out of his bed her grass was too high to get a shot all you
could see was just the top of his head movements antlers look like a pretty
decent buff for sure when I would shoot we stared each other down for I don’t
know five minutes it felt like maybe even longer finally he turned his head
off of us we couldn’t tell if he was walking he just laid back down but we
both lost him but neither of us I’ve seen them since I’d imagine it’s still a
hundred yards easy shooting range probably yeah like in a hard left I
would imagine so hopefully here in the next hour we’ll get eyes back on him and
maybe pull off a shot yet yeah baby
louder no I’m just grunt again and then if that doesn’t work shake that tree do a snort wheeze I take the only other option as if he’s
bedded there aside from them standing up it has to walk that right at it
get after that stuff I’m just grunt make noise break that brown stuff
get a shot on stands up yeah but he might be gone too
I mean it definitely wasn’t too bad I thought he was going to walk right to us especially when they didn’t know all we
were yeah maybe we go right at him yeah I get this body dude you know yes are you on oh in him yeah it’s right
between the fee in that tree yeah I’m just chasing the doe no big deal it’s not sure across to that like it’s
pretty white right there was I die I’m ready to move on this buck that we
spotted from we were coming in and there’s not one walking back because
sorry yeah it’s one I’d probably shoot for sure don’t think they know what’s going on at
the we were though I think we sat up there for probably close to the hour
get out get out and start with scraped the ground I don’t know if you didn’t
hear I heard she just without imagine you heard it but didn’t want anything to
do with that somebody sounded we’re gonna sneak down as close to this brown
brush as I could and we’re standing here Zack saw him get up and just bound that’s the reason that we decided to
sneak up closer on him that brown grass is just so tall that they can stand up
and still not have a shot with a gun like you shall miss it I had enough I
mean he stopped out there and well within shooting range and stuff
twice yeah and she just oh he just couldn’t shoot he was right here about
it maybe maybe 50 yards from her we just walked 40 yards from the problem is is I
sitting back there he can stand up and he was gonna go to the right I just
couldn’t see enough made the decision to back out a little choice he’s not
anything when he ran off those other day it got out then there was a couple on
their backs with all right so why we decided to move is because he
was right out here about 40 yards we knew was bedded out there close we
tried grunting obviously but the problem is is he’s not gonna get up and go
towards that water to the left in this direction that cornfields over there so
we knew he’s gonna get up and go to the right we can’t see once he gets up and
goes to the right so he gave it time we started to run out of time it’s getting
dark now so we just decided to make a move and I died I don’t think they’re
gonna be gone I think we’re gonna be able to come in here and be on him or
different deer tomorrow that’s it really good that’s a really good day that’s a
perfect stunt I mean he heard something stood up we stopped
I had a stare down with him for probably he’s dead I mean if he would have been
in just slightly different vegetation we had him at least two really solid
opportunities at him like maybe yeah if we were a little taller
maybe we forgot that buck have a sweet though and the cool thing is is we have
not impacted this spot at all that road access is a way over there there’s no
way anybody’s been in here in that buck he’s not that far from the access but here’s a theory that I have to and I
just wanted to throw this out there if in my opinion if you bump into deer on
any piece of land during gun season and they blow how you they have not been
pressured they have not been hunted with a gun yet because a lot of times when
deer have been pressured with a gun as soon as they hear see smell something
they don’t like boom they’re gone and they’re not standing around blowing
because that’s just letting hunters know that they’re there and those a mature
buck and he stopped like four times yeah then started chasing it oh yeah he had
no idea really what was happening but he knew something wasn’t right
it’s fun to be aggressive like that huh yeah so I mean if I wish I would have
seen homeless yeah I think I might looked at you when he said my glass and
like you right here what what happened stuff all right I gotta get a glove on
him freezing to go so cold well we just spent the last 15 minutes
of daylight here just glass and fastest bottom after we spookde that buck and
we’ve seen a number of different deer in here after we spooked him they seem
funny comfortable probably gonna back out of here for the night as quietly as
we can and they backed either tomorrow or in the next couple of days and we got
two days left of the first done season it’s getting dark
we’re gonna slip out of here now as quietly as we can and we’ll be back in
here within the next few days

    Zach and Logan great hunt! You were definitely in on them for sure. Again great strategies employed with going into a place where access has been limited. So many hunters don't take think about the fact that most are not going to go into hard to reach places. If they can't drive there they are not going. You took advantage of that fact and you were covered up in deer and a couple of great bucks. The strategy paid off and you great chance of getting back in there again for more action. I can't wait to see it and thanks for the continued great informative and action packed episodes THP!!

    He could have shot him in the neck whenever he stopped. It's not the most ethical shot, but it works, especially at that range. It takes more than a few weeds to stop a 450.

    Seems like you maybe should have looped up and around a bit more to the right since that was his escape route instead of walking directly at him. But hey I wasn't there….you'll get him tomorrow!

    Not sure how Zach sees the top of a brown rack, hidden amongst brown grass, at 60 yards, while filming. 99.9% of the hunting world would have walked right past that deer and not had a clue he was even in there. Crazy-good deer vision!

    When y’all run into a bedded buck like this can you maybe set up a topo map image with the location of the bedded buck, wind direction, etc.? I’d love to know the setup and conditions of why those bucks chose to bed in that location opposed to in the nearby timber.

    I have nothing but respect for a hunter who opts to pass on difficult shot. Open handed at that range on a spooky deer. That's a poke and pray shot. Props on being ethical guys.

    Often times deer will watch you go past as long as you keep moving. Once I was scouting before gun season and I noticed a buck watching me from about 75 yds away. I avoided eye contact and just kept moving. He watched me until I was some distance past him and he crossed right behind me. He thought he pulled a fast one but I was walking backwards up the trail with my hat turned around. Another thing to try in this situation is leave one hunter crouched down in cover and the other continue walking on past the deer without stopping to look at it. As the walker gets well past the deer make a hard turn behind him. That can force the deer to run back where you just were and to your watcher.
