On the property I hunt we had standing corn late into the year and had many frustrating hunts up until the rut. Yes, we knew the deer were there, but they rarely came out of it, I could hear deer walking through the middle of this field but couldn't see them. Once the corn was picked, deer were flogging under my stand and I shot two does and a nice buck. Although, our late season hunting was amazing due to all of the corn left on the ground.
