Default RE: Excitement!

Scott, I think you'll be in business with the corn. From your only parking access point, you'll be able to slip through the corn largely undetected.

With a prevailing wind out of the W/SW, you're looking at a scenario where a bigbedded buck (in the corn)might come off the corn field and cruise the westernmost edge of the field (easternmost edge of the woods), scent-checking for bedded does and running his scrape line. If you can slip in there, and keep scent clean, it could be a great sit.

Personally, I have two stand sets overlooking what (was) corn last year. Both spots are 18-22' up, and nestled in the leafy field edge. You can glass the fields for hours, looking for those shaking corn stalks. I'd swear that on a really crispy, dry, calm night, you can hear a deer in the cornfield from a mile away.

I've taken two pretty nice bucks out of a cornfield edge, and both of them were taken at least two hours before dark. Weird how they felt so comfortable cruising the corn's edge at 4-5:00 in the afternoon. Normally, when those places were beans, you wouldn't see a deer until :30 minutes before dark, at the earliest.
