Default Deep Snow Tactics?

Right now their is over 10 inches of snow on the ground, and besides being a pain in the ass to walk through...is it worth it to go out hunting? We have till Sunday here in Ohio, and im willing to put in as many stand hours as possible. Now when i went and hung a stand earlier today, the only tracks i cut across were within 20 yards of my house, and theylooked like they belonged toa group of 5 deer that were cruising through the valley behind my house. The standI plan on hunting is on over 200 acres of cut corn, in a fence row thatdivides two sections of field. It is marked with the red star:



Now im looking for some quick opinions before i go out tonight. But i will also be in the stand on Saturday evening (and possibly Saturday and Sunday morning). Im currently at 95 deer sightings while bowhunting this year, and im looking to bump that number up over 100. My first bowkill of the year would be nice too , but my chance at a good buck doesn't seem very high at the moment (Thats if they even still have antlers here, some have dropped already). Any opinions or tips for deep snow late winter hunting would be appreciated.
