Default RE: Tips For Bowhunting Around Corn Fields ?

If there is a steady light breeze, take a pair of binoculars and go to the downwind end of the corn around 9:30 or 10 in the morning and start at one corner of the field. go about 20 yards into the wind and then start still hunting. If the field is placed with the rows east and west and the wind out of the west(row orientation only in relation to direction of wind) start 20 yards up and go nrht to south(or south to north) across the rows using the binoculars to glass both directions before steping into the row. work your way across the field move an additional 20 yards or so into the wind and repeat to the opposite side. in a ladder pattern.
If you have a recurve or longbow take that instead of your compound as snapshots WILL present themselfs as deer cross infront of you.
A very light breeze covers any sound you make and dosn't seem to bother the deer.

Very Exciting and rewarding. The last 3 deer I have taken have come out of the corn.
