Default RE: hunting standing corn edges???

I have over 1000 acres of just corn I hunt. One of my biggest problems is its bordered bylitterally 1 mile of straight woodline, no funnels or anything except for 1 corner at the end of the field edge which is where I have tried hunting. In that 1 mile stretch its extremely difficuly to pinpoint regular deer travel as it changes day to day whereI would see them go into the corn. I sat on a few stands for almost 4 weeks one year and saw plenty of shooters but they extremely difficuly to get shots at as they mainly walked straight into the corn and rarely walked the edge of thecorn woodlinewhich they seem to know is not the best place to be. They would even trot from the woodline straight into the corn. I used to think it was from hunting pressure but myself and 2 other guys hunted the property and we were all very spread out throught the property. When I move inside the woodline some I see many more deer and have better shot opportunities. Thats just my situation, Im sure this will vary greatly. Love the standing corn, hate the shot opportunities I get.
