How long does it take to pack a whitetail out of a field anyway?

Man, I love the way that Kicker sweeps down and back! WTG! John
I don't want to steal any of Spitz's thunder, so I will let him post. I only have one picture at this time.
Wish I could upload photos from my phone to this site. I don't like being a tease, but don't have talent or technology to upload. Supposedly getting a solution to that soon.
I will let Spitz tell the story first. I will fill in the details from my perspective, after you get to read and see his version. Not a booner, but surely as cool of a buck as you can hope for in a WIHA with all this pressure.
And to think we also had lined up on a really nice 5X5 this morning, but no rounds were fired. The shot and footage was just too iffy - Thank God.

Dude, either you have changed your cell # since you sold this place, or you don't know how to download pics. Spitz told me that you were first in line to get the first photo. The text confirmed delivery. Now quit your whining.

Hurry up Spitz. I got a Christmas party to go to and you're cutting into my beer drinking time.
Well we finally made it back to camp so I can provide an update. I'm not nearly as fluent or well spoken in my posting as Randy is with his play by play but I'll try to do today justice.
First, I just gotta have a sidenote and let you guys know how much filming a hunt changes the priorites of the way you go about trying to get an animal. Here, we're hunting whitetail in areas that are so open, if something isn't bedded in a small coulee, it's going to be in the open and you'll be able to see nearly any object from 800 yards or so. If it is bedded, you will see each other at the same time and whitetail don't stop running . . .ever.
So, though we've seen bucks, not many, but a couple of good bucks, it has never worked out to have pre-shot footage as well as to not have an animal running when you're finally presented with a shot. Or not have it skylined, even though you know there is absolutely nothing behind the skyline for a mile and a half.
If I had been hunting the way I regularly do, from a truck with the gun resting on the sideview mirror; or even if I had just covered a ton of ground and jumped deer from their beds, things would have been much easier.
Okay, so we started this morning in the same area that Randy shot his buck in yesterday morning. We were on a high bluff overlooking a lot of ground and hoping to catch deer moving from wheat fields to their bedding area.
Sure enough, a decent 5x5 trailing a doe and a fawn came out from the neighboring property. We watched them with great anticipation and were stoked when they jumped right into the WIHA. He wasn't a monster but was good enough for what we had come to hope for on public accessible ground. They were a long ways out and instead of being patient Loren and I cut the distance in half with a short run followed by a crawl. We came to the position we though we could shoot from but ended up being 480 yards from the buck!
It was a poor miscalculation on my part as that distance was too great for good filming the quality that Randy expects and we ended up right in the open and scared the buck off the property.
So, bummed out for having blown one of the few opportunities we've had, we decided to head to town for some grub.

Come on Spitz, enough already. If you don't get this posted up pretty soon, I am going to post some pics. The guy types like I talk.......real sssssllllloooooowwww.
SO, the afternoon turned out a bit better.
We ended up spotting a few deer in the WIHA as we were driving to where we planned to begin our afternoon hunt. It turned out to be 3 does and a buck that I knew I'd be more than happy to take home from a Kansas WIHA.
The deer fed out into a field and bedded right in a corner of the field along the property boundary fence. There was almost zero cover and the deer were 600 yards out. We contemplated every possible option and finally decided our best bet was to leave Randy behind and have Loren and I crawl a couple hundred yards, only moving when the deer weren't looking, to a little spot that provided some cover and a possible shot.
Luckily, Loren, with a camera and tripod was able to crawl right along with me and we didn't spook the deer. In fact, once we got to our cover spot, they bedded down. Unfortunately, we couldn't get a good angle on them and had to cover more ground.
I ended up having to crawl within 60 yards of the bedded deer. Loren and I split up a bit so that he could have a good filming lane and I a good shooting lane. The does trotted into view first, the buck came shortly after. It was his last trot.
Here are a few photos.
He's not a booner but he took a lot of work and I couldn't be happier. It's been a lot of fun and a great experience being here with Randy to see how incredibly difficult it is to put a quality show together.
