    So I shoot my bow at my family farm in a picked bean field. After shooting a group of arrows I make my way to the target but lost interest in the group of arrows cause I cane across this big track. I started to walk and take notice to these tracks. For about 40 yards the tracks kept going. I finally lost interest and knew I needed to keep shooting my bow. After I shot my bow I decided to get a bite to eat and went back to another spot to check a camera. I knew the rut was gonna be ramping up real quick and knew it was only a matter of time. When I checked that camera I had a nice two year old eight on it, this is a mile 1/2 from the big tracks I found. I didn’t get much more on that camera so I decided to move it. I just didn’t know where until I thought of those big tracks I found in the field where I was shooting my bow. I started to walk to the other side of the field where I knew these tracks were probably headed toward. I found the tracks probably 50 yards from the field edge. I figured this buck made the bee line across the field either late last evening or around 1am this morning. Fresh tracks thought it was windy and warm. So I got to the other side and could see where he walked in at. It’s also very thick and I doubt you could see a deer laying there if you walked right by them. I started to lightly pound the fence post into the dry dirt. I happened look up and catch a glimpse out of my eye. BIG BUCK stood straight up and beating foot across another picked bean field. Though he looked tall and massive body I couldn’t tell how big his rack really was. It was getting dark and he was moving pretty quick. So my lesson learned is don’t do to much and never follow fresh tracks lol
