YES!!!! Wait for them to stand up!!!! They will eventually!
November 8, 2011 at 1:53 pm #114225Depending on the wind direction and available cover, do you have an opportunity to close the distance? Belly crawl slowly and see if you can get a little closer. If not, then maybe wait it out. I don’t hunt with a slug gun, but 150 yds seems a long way and if you shoot now and miss it is all over. Tough situation to be in. Good luck!!!!! Hope to see pictures soon
November 8, 2011 at 1:54 pm #114226SHould I try to crawl alittle closer or stay put at 150 its a long shot but ive done em before that far
November 8, 2011 at 1:57 pm #114227WInds ok wide open setaside grass no cover in up higher then the deer. Grass is about 2 feet tall

Only you know your effective range!
My therory is that they can not poop or pee laying down, so they eventually need to stand up. If they stand without being spooked, you’ll most likely get the best opportunity for a clean shot.November 8, 2011 at 2:02 pm #114230Quote:

X2!
Had a buck bed down about 50 yards away the other day and he stood up once an hour so I would stay tight and wait for your opportunity.November 8, 2011 at 2:18 pm #114237You got me all fired up, put your phone down and get you some! Good luck, hope it plays out for you
November 8, 2011 at 2:26 pm #114239Get to a comfortable range. Only you know where that is from your practice then wait them out. They will stand.
November 8, 2011 at 3:12 pm #114242WHat’s the status of this thing?? If you’re still laying there sooner or later YOU”RE the one that’s going to need to stand to poop or pee! Good luck!
