Please take a look at this picture and help me get the deer towards me.
 
Hello. Need a little help. This is my first year deer hunting and i'm trying to figure out why i'm seeing deer near me. Here is a picture of my hunting area. I have seen big bucks in the corn fields (I cant hunt the edges of the fields) I have also seen deer track coming out of the woods by the pasture (right where I put my stand). What i'm trying to do is get myself between where the deer eat (the corn field) and a bedding area (the big pasture). Also, there is a river on the other side of the pasture that I have seen deer tracks by so I know they are moving around the area. Unfortunately, when i'm in my stand, the deer all seem to be in the corn fields. I have been hunting from 3:00pm to 5:00pm when it gets dark. Should I reposition my stand? Any advice? Sorry if I sound like a noob. haha.

Red = my stand
Circled green = areas I have been seeing deer in the corn
Yellow = Pasture of tall grass (bedding area?)
Blue = river
White = Outline of my area

Please outline your entire hunting area...how tall is that pasture grass? I dont think that is the primary bedding area, not for bucks anyways.

How much of that area do you have permission to hunt?

If anything, the deer are likely bedding across the river from your stand.

Okay I outlined the area. The grass in the pasture is pretty tall its up to my waist and I'm 5"11.

The grass looks similar to this, but this isnt my area. I just found this on google.

If inside the white area is the place your allowed to hunt, Id move your stand to the upper right or lower left, close to the river.
