Hoyt Viper,

If I were you, I'd try going through the cornfield in the AM.

If you find you are spooking deer, try something else.

PM hunts would be better but since your daughter is in K and you have obligations then AM hunts are all you can do.

I,ve hunted around many cornfields and deer do not ALWAYS bed in them. Several of the places I've hunted, had deer bedding in thickets, not in the corn.

Not saying that will be your case, but I've seen it where I hunt.

Its worth a try.

GMMAT tries to cram those "21 deer in 3 years" down everyone's throat. The guy lacks the years of experience of trying different things. I'll give him credit for what he has done, but some of his statements show his arrogance and his ignorance.

I, like most, learned through trial and error. Over time, I learned what works and what don't work (most of the time). I am still learning and often find exceptions to things I have experienced before.

I appologize for how I might have come across in my debate with GMMAT. I've just noticed a big change in how he has changed over the years. I've seen this before in others as they get a few deer under their belt.

I don't like how he belittles others and just wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine.

He use to be a good guy. I can say, I actually am proud of the guy for how quick he has picked up bowhunting and become so successful in such a short time.


Hunting in a good area with lots of shots at deer will make you learn quickly. It spoils you, I know this first hand. But comparing those deer to the deer others hunt in high pressure areas is a different ball game.

Deer act differently sometimes in different areas. I use to hunt deer in a low pressure area where we hunted from the ground. We just walked around and got deer with in a half an hour after getting out of the truck. Things aren't like that everywhere.

Anyway, I'd try crossing that field and see what happens.
