Corn gate
 

How much corn is still in the field where you hunt. I would say about 75% here in MI.

It's down to about 50% here Germ. Of course in my core area it's being cut now since our season ended Saturday. Now I wish it could stay up for the deer through rifle season.

My best season ever, well this one compared though in 2001 I shot my best buck to date. (had I held out I might have beaten that one but one never knows, the scenerio would have played differently) In 01 they cut all the corn except about an acre or two right in front of my prime stand. All the deer in the area were in that corn field and in that last week of archery, the second week of Nov I saw 11 different bucks, chasing, grunting and scuffles. I arrowed my buck which came to my calling from the cornfield. The fact that the rut was in swing helped as well but without that last remaining corn, they deer would have been more scattered. If corn is standing, the deer are usually in it.

It's about 99.9 percent gone here in central IL. and has been for about a month or longer. how come in Mich. Iowa and northern IL it stays up so much longer?

None. NOt many corn fields in my area. The only corn fields I know of have been made in to Corn mazes. The cotton is getting striped, the wheat has been drilled,the peanuts are getting turned, and the sorgrum and watermellonswhere harvestedlong ago.:D

Rain Rain, it has been really wet here in MI!
Allour corn is still in!

RE: Corn gate
 

On our farm about 90% of the corn has already been harvested. Doesn't really matter though, the deer had already ate most of it.. Its amazing how much damage they do.

Up in Northern MO almost all of the corn is gone. There is a piece of ground I hunt with my roomate that still has corn up because the farmer that leases it out hasn't gotten to it yet. He's taking that out this week.

I don't know, I'll check my feeders later in the week!

probably 45% still up here. Rain and really wet here in cental Ohio. I think it was a record for October rain fall this year. Still some beans up around too, with standing water in them. Looks liek swamp land.
