Default RE: Excitement!

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 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.
Right on.... Also, with a true SW wind I can tuck in justeastthewestern mostswamp bedding area so my wind does not go into it and capitalize on movement from the corn and swamp bedding area.

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.
This is much the same as I have noticed over the years hunting the farms when corn is planted..... I swear it eases their nerves and they move much more freely about. If danger presents itself to them they are just a few bounds away from a sea of security cover.
