although i have already placed my stand this season i am starting to have second thoughts about it..i place it bacisal where i sat last year but about 50 ydrs to the south,i put it there cause there was alot of deer travel right there,,but there was corn in hte field last year,,this year it was not planted except for winter wheat,,the people who own the land put a pheasent buffer around the field,,do u think i will have good luck here or should i move some where else,,also there is a corn field to the northwest of my stand,,should i move to it when the pick it?? Please help,,it will be very appriciated

How much sign have you been seeing around where your stand is currently? I wouldn't think near as much... I've never had that much luck around anything else when corn is anywhere near the vacinity. I'd be looking to hang a stand around a travel corridor between the bedding area and the corn. Chances are, if it's still standing, they're bedding down right in the middle of it often, but your best chance is still hanging up in a tree close to that.

The dear will go to the wheat for sure.If you have a second stand then you may want to put it near the corn also.I would sit in the stand for a few days and see if you are still going to have the dear there before moving it to the corn.Dont change it just yet.I have always had great luck setting up by wheat fields.

sorry i typed that wrong and did not realize it but there was nothing planed in it this year,,the winter wheat was planned last fall and picked this spring,,a

as for sign i have not seen and since area was previously mown a few day before we placed stands i could not tell if there was and trails in that area except one that goes right under tree,,

i do know from last year that the area was there was alot of travel on the poperty line where i have set up at last year,,

i will try to get a pic on hear,,but with crappy puter i have at my house i can garentee anything,,i need to get to grandparents and use there puter,,it much faster,

check it ,,yellow is right field is corn,,the tan around the middle field is the quail buffer red bot is stand placement

it worked woow forgot somethings,,the blue line is property line and the green is grass and willow trees,,
alittle above the bottom blue line is about where the deer traveled at last year,,and hopefully this year
hope this helps yall abit

Hey yall got to playing with a pic last night and got it to where it would fit,,kinda give u and idea to what is around the property

I think that setting up between the qual buffer and the corn would be a good place if the deer are not still using the trail where you are set up now.

anyone else have any suggestion of what i should do??

I did not read any of the previous responses but would offer that if you moved your stand based on current sign, as opposed to last year, then I think you are moving in the right direction. Too many folks become stagnant in locating their stands based just on previous years' experiences. Actually moving based on current deer sign is definitely the way to go.
