The first one is a tactic to hunt THE corn. Not a tactic to go through it to hunt the woods....and definitley not a tactic to go through it and hunt the woods in the AM.
The second link backs EVERYTHING I SAID in this thread up. It's people saying the same things I told you. They all HATE the corn (because deer will and are bedding in it) and can't wait for it to get cut.

Seriously. You need to read these. You can argue with them, then.
Pieces of statements from such sites as realtree.com and other hunting forums.
"Stalks can work, although I prefer to no do this except on windy days where I do not want to be in a stand. In this case, I often set up a blind in the corn itself, or stalk lightly. Very interesting hunt style and can be worth the gamble at times. I usually get to the wind-right side or corner of a field and work my way up the rows"
"usually walk them when they are wet... which sucks... or on windy days... like said just move slow and just peak your head in, not your whole body! seems like it takes forever though! i have snuck up on a lot of does this way and only 1 buck and the buck saw me before i saw him.. so that sucked... it helps being able to judge yardage well too not just for the shot but so you can go to where you think you could last see in the corn so when you walk down a row to cover the ground that you already looked down, you pace out that many yards and walk back through it...."
I have read many. I just had snippets to add to this post. As a matter of fact, after reading writen publications about this, I decided to post this and get opinions....look like I got them. Understand that I didnt point you out....you just seemed to contradict EVERYTHING I said, recommended, or even had an opinion on.
The last time I will ever post anything that will start this mayhem. Sorry Jeff, but just trying to get my fellow opinions...not solely yours and only yours. You hunt your way and slay the nanny's. Im working on quality, not quantity.
