RE: Corn is still up where I hunt :(
Unless it was hundreds of acres still standing, I'd love to have some corn still up around here... Next year I'm going to pay the landowner to leave some up...
If there wasa vast amount, I'd probably consider still-hunting through it very slowly, one row at a time.

RE: Corn is still up where I hunt :(
Depending on the size of the field, a deer drive might work, if set up properly. But the risk you run is deer squirting out the sides of the field before they get flushed out of the endrows where you would probably be set up. It all depends on how much is left.
But then again, these deer will have to come out of the fields for water, unless there is standing water in the corn somewhere.
I would still venture to guess these deer won't exclusively stay in the corn, so find travel routes in and out of the corn field and set up shop there.

I've done my fair share of deer drives. Andit doesn't matter how well planned you have them, some just don't work.
Deer movement become unpredictable when flushed.

RE: Corn is still up where I hunt :(
Thanks guys...most of the corn is still up. There are4 different fields that this affects. One is about 80 acres,two are ajoining 40 acres. And the last one is about 200. Not sure how I'll do this, but, I'll take all of this advice and come up with a plan. I should definetly get my manager aka Red Hawk to drive. That sounds like a plan!
