My middle brother runs an outfitting business here in Utah. My youngest brother and i help him guide. This buck was taken with a bow last week. The youngest bro was the guide, and Tony was the hunter.

They had hunted this buck for a couple of days without getting close enough for a good shot. So they took the tractor and bailer into the field and drove past the group of bucks. Tony stepped off and when the tractor drove off the buck was 18 yards away. He went 30 yards and expired quickly!

A side veiw of the 28 inch 4 by 3. He is a young deer.

Tony, on the left with his trusty guide, Rich!

Had to let my son get some camera time. He loves to hunt with dad and loved feeling the velvet.

You know that song, "She think's my tractor's sexy"? I was the inspiration.

too bad you plow with a mule!

Is hunting from a tractor actually considered "fair chase" down there?
Here you are not allowed to even pack in game on a motorized vehicle unless it is licenced. Not that that stops a lot of practical minded folks.
What's the charge for a "tractor" hunt as compared to a horseback hunt?

 

[per]

The tractor should be a rather practical choice I would think. That loader is useful in spotting, hanging and carrying. The baler I am not so sure of its purpose! :?

Maybe the tractor needs to be painted Cammo in order to fit in with the uniforms.

So are John Deere's more valuable as hunting tractors, since they are already green? :???: Besides, there is already a deer on the decal, which would tend to lure in fellow deer. :wink:

I see the one in the picture is painted red so no one will mistake the loader for antlers.

Do tractor hunters hang from one side of the tractor with their rifles over the top, like the Indians hung out of sight on one side of their horses with their bow and arrows aimed over the back of the horse? This conjures up an interesting scene in my mind. :wink:

Alot of black bears meet their maker off the deck of a swather up here-thast's a nice archery buck for sure.

Hey, Don't shoot the messenger!!!! I just thought ya might want to see the pictures. Point of fact: #1 they did NOT SHOOT off the tractor. #2 They drove past the buck and the hunter stepped off as the tractor drove away. #3 the hunter waited as the buck continued on his way(thus the camo for hiding in a hayfeild). #4 the hunter then shot the buck! Sure we hunt deer a horseback and on the mountain! But this guy lives around here and wanted this buck as he scouted him a little during the summer. So, TO BE CLEAR, no laws broken! Nice buck! Ya'll enjoy if you can!

And I had a picture of the loader bucket full of grass and brush for a blind, the hunter hanging on for "deer" life and trembling with anticipation as the guide "stalked" the unsuspecting bambi with the tractor while consuming a half-sack of brew ........................... :lol: :lol:

No harm intended, just had to clarify a few things.
Nice buck

 

[per]

I also meant not harm. I am always impressed that you bow hunters ever get anything. The tractor part just stuck a funny bone. :lol:

 

[leanin' H]

Heck, the way i shoot arrows, i'd have more luck mounting a quiver full to the front bucket and tryin' to ram the buck! :wink:

This could be a pretty fair deer hunting rig. Keep in mind that there is a loader for the tractor that goes on in just a jiffy. The tractor is already decked out in hunter orange. The baler is big enough that quite a swarm of hunters could ride inside. There are openings between the belts that a multitude of shootin' irons could protrude from. The tractor and baler could unobtrusively drone through a herd of deer without them suspecting a thing. Quarry be wary. "Hunt deer with Vermeer." There is potential galore. :wink:

If the swarm started complaining about seeing nothing but the same view, a quick flip of the switch and they could all have 'a good look around'. :shock: :arrow: :help:

Think about it, a semi-auto 12 gauge with the PTO on would be effective on gophers, deer, and geese all in the same load. :wink:

You son-of-a-guns are killing me!!!!!! I almost blew stuff out my nose from laughing to hard! I can see the add in Outdoor Life now...... Its a peaceful morning as the sun peeks over the mountain. A beautiful buck chases a doe into a secluded meadow somewhere in Nebraska. The sound of farm machinery is faintly heard as a hard working farmer works the land. The wildlife scarcely notice the tractor bailing hay and the combine harvesting grain. By then it's completely to late! The Bailer suddenly protrudes rifle barrells in every direction and the combine transforms into a 1/2 abhrams tank 1/2 high speed deer recovery platform. It would be like Hatari! Soapweed, ya really need to patent this quickly. It's way better than your branding gizmo idea!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :roll: :wink:
