Jeff,

I honestly dont give a rats ass about the content, as these areant the ones I was referring to. I dont have a scanner to quote waddell and others that gave their professional point on crossing them in NHA mags, petersons, etc., but regardless, the ones I quoted were simply a google and link to the articles. I didnt read them all, but if you are trying to tell me that I shouldnt cross in an area mid field, quietly, cautiously, and wind to respect....you are not giving me credit for my huntng experience, as you desperately request I do for you. Absolutely no offense to you or your methods....I have read enough that people hunt their own ways, and seem to be quite successful at them. I will take your advice from you and give 'em hell....and thats what Im planning on doing. I know people hunt the fields, as well as cross them....even setting up blinds in them. How did they get there? They had to transverse the crop, even the hunters who huted the rows....they must have been in them to hunt them....there is a big difference in sneaking through them and hunting them.

For reference, my point of crossing them is at least 500 yrds from either side. I doubt I will run into much, not even a sleeping deer. Maybe a ground hog or other critter, but my research shows they hang around edges feeding or bedding, not the center of 600 acres.

Maybe Im wrong, but as I said, I will post my success photos!
