Yes, literally. But, if you count individual trails left in the snow in that cornfield there's at least a hundred. Then, if you could count the different numbers of deer leaving those hundred trails there's probably a few dozen.And finally, if you count the total number of deer that are in that cornfield at any given moment, there's probably 2-3.

Still though, that's pretty good activity right? When I walked into the field and pines adjacent to that cornfield today, I thought for sure thatbefore nightfall, there would be deer just crawling towards the corn. The freshest 3 inches of snowhavebeen on the ground a full 3 days but it looked like a herd of a few hundred deer were out there all at once prancing about. There were tracks everywhere it was unreal.

Anyway, I didn't see anything walk by but on the way back to the car I did cut through the cornfield and scare up 2 or 3 or them. I just hope they don't go tell the others. Hmmm I really just wanted to share my excitement but here, I'll think up a question:

Let me describe the layout then tell me where you would hunt: imagine a square divided into 4 equal parts. The bottom right portion is the cornfield. The bottom left is wooded. The top left is pines. The top right is a tall grass field with shrubs and scattered pines.A half mile beyond the field is the huge state forest.Trails seem to lead into the cornfield in pretty even amount from every direction. Where would you hunt? As of right now I'm thinking maybe where it transitions from the pines to the tall grass field.

Depends on if you are meat hunting, or looking for a big rack. If you are meat hunting stay where the most tracks are entering the field. The problem with you seeing all the tracks is that the deer could be hitting it when its dark and you may rarely see any in daylight out in the field.

Wind direction wouldbe important onwhere to sit.

hunt afternoon and i think you should go that half a mile
to the state forest because thats where you deers that leaves
tracks everywhere is coming from
by the time they get to the food its too dark for you to put one
in the deer!

Actually, I think the deer are bedded down in the field during the day. There's tall grass and alot of cover like scattered pines and shrubs for them to hide in. I was walking around and found plenty of spots where the snow was melted away. This makes it tricky because the bedding area and the food are right next to eachother. I really can't be picky this time of year though because it's my only hunting spot that has a primary food source like this. Oh, there's also no hardwood trees in the field either so I'm stuck on the ground hiding behind a bush or just sitting 10 feet up on the branches of a pine.
