I just wanted some opinions on when to hunt corn fields. Will the deer eat standing corn or is it better to hunt the corn after it has been cut? Thanks for any tips on this subject.

While the corn is standing the some deer will spend all day in there. The best way to hunt a standing cornfield IMO is to get upwards of 3-5 people and spread out about 40 yrds or so apart along one edge of the field. The first hunter enters the corn by sticking his head into the first row and looking both ways. His bow is kept back by his hip as he does this. Once the first hunter gets in about 5 rows the second hunter starts the same and so on down the line till all hunters are in the corn. If one hunter sees a deer he should get a shot but if not the next hunter coming up should. This practice is safe as long as you shoot down the row you are in (never do this with guns). After you all reach the end of the field you start over again 40 yrds further down from the last hunter to exit the field.
As far as a cut corn field, my choich would be a stand along an inside corner.

Here in southern Iowa I can tell you that hunting corn fields just after they have been harvested is a real good way of getting close to a lot of deer. I' ve seen cornfields picked in the morning and have 30 deer in them by the afternoon. Deer love to gleen the corn after it' s been picked. But if the farmer brings in his cows to gleen it after he' s picked it, the deer won' t go in there. They will move off to a different spot. Hope this helps.

Corn anytime

One of the patches of woods that I hunt has corn all around it so after walking the fence line I noticed a couple of places where the corn didn' t particularly grow that well. Found quite a bit of sign so I' m going to set up shop at both places and see what happens. The farm is family owned so I' ll be on stand most of the day when that field gets picked. Two more days to go here in IL!!!!

Hunt the corn while its standing - OR FRESHLY picked (within a day or 2) The largest bucks I have ever seen and jumped where in standing corn in Indiana / Illinois where I hunt - and grew up. I have a stand that is 10 yards inside the woods at the end of a corfield on a corner... I can glass up the edge, and look over the field. A cut field is also a good place to try a decoy on the fields edge......

if you have a feild adjacent to a corn feild, hunt it while the corn is being combined. The combine will most likely send deer fleein in all directions, and maybe your direction.
