The property I hunt, is hard to hunt as a typical pattern like most articles talk about, my piece is long and narrow, with a field at the one end, though this field borders a road and is pretty wide open, just through a strip of woods, is a much larger/safer field, so i feel like my field is kinda not used as much, also im convinced deer only feed on corn when its in its sweet phase in the summer sometime, and in the winter when food is scarce, otherwise i never see them feed on corn here in IL, and many others have said the same thing to me, the typical bedding areas, food scources, travel routes, just aren't stereotypical on my piece, I do hunt bottlenecks, which are travel corridors. I mainly have stands all over, and depending on the wind I choose a stand, as far as food sources, does, bedding areas, isn't really able to patter like that. Some stands I have come to find as more of a morning stand than night, and when the rut is on i'm more apt to hunt a bottle neck than a field or just a stand kinda in the middle of the woods. I think you just have to do the best with where you hunt, which is frustrating at times. you may want to look at an aerial photo and look around your property at others and see if maybe you spot a funnel or some area to consider hunting.
