Default Having a tough time about tonight...thoughts?

Ok, we're getting into some great weather here in PA (low 30s upper 20s at night, and low 50s during the day). Tonight, we should have a SSW/SW wind (light 5mph) which means I can sit two spots I haven't been for a little while. I really can't make up my mind, though, so I'm wanting some opinions. Here's a map of both locations. They're marked number 1 and 2 with the green dots. Ignore the other stand site markers.



The stand site number 2 in the northwest corner of the food plot is one choice. This is a clover (which probably is all about done now that we had two frosts back to back nights) with some rye and a little bit of brassica thrown in. I've seen deer in here every evening I've hunted it, but they're inconsistant to where they come out. One evening they came out East of my stand location, one night they came out South, and the other night they came out on the other end (west of my stand). I've seen NO bucks in here during the season, yet.

Stand number 1 is my new stand this year in an area where I SWEAR shows promise. The three sits this year has only yielded 10 sightings, and only one of those ten was a deer feeding through naturally (The other 9 came flying through one evening after being spooked by something). The corn is still standing there, and just feel like this inside corner in the bottom of the finger has to produce deer in here, but I'm wondering if they're already in the corn by the time I get there. However, I never hear anything moving around throughout the evening that would lead me to believe that.

So what are your thoughts here? Our acorn crop isn't as massive as it was last year either, and I'm seeing deer in the fields in the evening still, so it leads me to believe that they should be hitting one of these two food sources.
