I don't know how anyone still hunts standing corn. The rows are so tight, you can't see but a couple yards in front of you. In my experience anyway.

We used to call it "corn stalking". It's a method best imployed on windy days when the corn is rustling. It can be highly effective but you must poke your head through the rows, then ease into the next one etc.

I'm with max and muley,still hunt the corn. Like muley said, it has to be windy or it is way too noisy. It works best if the wind is blowing across the rows, if it is blowing down them it won't work. Just start on the downwind edge in the middle of the field, very slowly poke your head in the row and look up and down the row, keep going cross the field until you see a bedded deer then do as max said. I find that the deer are easier to see if you get on your knees and peek down the rows rather than stand. Biggest problem you'll have is does in the rows and how to get passed them if you don't spot the buck you are looking for. If there are does you can try to get far enough down the row they won't see you sneak across. If you bust them they are gonna alert every deer in the field though.

Get yourself a copy of "Bowhunting October Whitetails" by Drury since they've gota piece in there devoted to still hunting standing corn. It seems like a good alternative to sitting around and waiting during the October lulls.
