Corn gate

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.

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.

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.
