There is some corn starting to get cut already. It sure does draw in the deer when it is freshly cut. Saw a 155 10 pt and a 140 8 tonite. Sure am glad to see the corn go byebye even if it is this early. Has to be better than last year.

That is early.I noticed the corn turning around here but the ears seem very small. Been a weird weather year, I've enjoyed it but things seem different, like cutting corn in Ill. in August.
I get the feeling the deer are going to be either very passive and taking cover or very aggressive and flighty this year. Almost like they're running away from something, they just don't know what.
Nature's pretty simple minded, looking forward to trying to figure what it's saying. Saw one earlier, heard a humming noise like being close to a bee hive but I wasn't. I went out in the corn were a huge swarm of bee's were collecting on a branch next to it. A half hour later all was quiet, the bee's in a huge ball, next day they were gone. Have no idea what that was about, but it was impressive. I've never seen anything like that before.
Are they chopping it or picking it? Man!, if there picking it they must have planted it in March. I have been watching a dandy pair of 8's and a goofy 10 come out of the corn every night, sleeping in there I suppose. I hope it stays green for another 3 months, cause I'd like to see all 3 of those bucks make it until next year, besides we got more does around here than you can shake a stick at. Need to thin them out let them bucks grow into 150+

They have been cutting it up already for silage here in the eastern panhandle of WV...the hot droughty summer did a number on it. Last year it was up until November.
goodbye corn
