Wow, this is some good stuff! Thanks everyone for your input.

My farm is 140 acres. There are bad points and good points to stillhunting some of the areas. The bad is that the thick areas can be THICK (but some aren't too bad) and also the land is pancake flat. The big reasons for still hunting is because of the orientation of food sources (oak forest, and some standing corn) and bedding areas (which are too numerous to count), well, there are really no natural funnels. This is much different than when I go to my in-law's farm to hunt where there are some great funnels. But on my farm the deer can travel any of a bazillion paths to and from bedding/feeding areas. Plus this time of year, the deer are incredibly nocturnal.

Well tomorrow I'm going out with the ML. I'll be out before first light and set-up between a food source/bedding area. If I don't see anything in the first few hours, I'm going to try and stillhunt through an area that was logged about 15 years ago. The deer love to bed in there, but it's getting to the point where it's getting MUCH easier to move around in there and the understory is starting to open up a bit. Seems like about every other tree in therehas a buck rub on it, LOL!Forecast in the morning is for light snow showers, 20mph wind with gusts of 35+. Good day to hunt into the wind and also have the wind mask some of the sound. They'll probably be sitting pretty tight though. I'll let you know how it goes.
