Well I don't know about N. Carolina, but here in Iowa a cornfield can easily be several hundred acres large. Like I said, I asked for permission, but the farmer had already given permission to pheasant hunters to walk the unpicked corn. He probably rented the field to them for the day or weekend to make some money. I for one, would not want to be walking in standing corn looking for a deer when there are a bunch of city boys out pheasant hunting. I enjoy life too much for that.
