I know a few here have done it, but I'm curious as to just how many have done it?

Nope. Could have but none have been big enough yet. That's gotta be quite the challenge.

I have had chances on small bucks but not on a shooter buck.

Just last week I drew back 3 times on a 180 class buck while on the ground. He never did bust me as I was sitting behind an old allis chalmers tractor. I believe many times a ground blind makes more sense than trees.

After my super close ground encounters last year I believe this season was going to be the one I would kill a buck from the ground. Ended up filling my tag and killing one from 5ft off the ground in my LW on opening day so I never got to find out. Does that count? :lol:

This spot I call the eagles nest... The first year I hunted it was my first attempt with a bow, I shot an 8 point that I couldn't find after 2 days searching... Then the following year redeemed myself with a big 6 point with my new bow and setup that fit me....

I plan on doing a write up on this spot after season is over when I get time...

6 bucks off the ground, the biggest was mid to low 140 but have had many close calls with bigger. its a tough game getting a big boy in range, then you have to draw without being picked off.

Snuck up to a 2-3 year old 115" 8pt feeding in a slashing on a rainy night and got an arrow into him at 17 yards. It was a fun getting that close on a sneak. Big bodied deer, that's why I wondered if he was 2.5 or 3.5.

The 130-140" 8pt I was after slipped out of the slashing at sometime during the sneak.

I am quite surprised this many people have killed a buck with a bow from the ground. I'm going to try and kill a doe yet this year with my new ghillie suit I just ordered, and maybe even get it on camera, we shall see. ;)

I have shot dozens (some bucks)of deer off the ground late season with soft 2 and 3 man pushes. I have taken a few spot and stalk with the compound and my very first deer was wily 6 pt I took with my recurve from the ground.
