That's what I'm afraid of. All the fields on my lease are in corn. It was planted May 1-5. I'm not sure how much later than normal that is. Anybody know?

About 3-4 weeks late. I'm located in Southeast Central of the state and wehad several farmers who replanted up to three times. I think someof the corn didn't get out until the middle of May. I know I saw a lot of corn being planted during turkey season! The whole state was really behind this year. We also have to hope it doesn't rain much during harvest time. I think that will hurt us more than anything. I remember hunting when I was a kid and the corn was always still in thru most of October. We've just been lucky these last few years and the corn has been out sometimes before bow season even started. Hang in there and change your tactics if you have to.

Our Brown County lease is usually cut during the first two weeks in October. Your Oct 11-14 dates are probably right on the bubble

I think what 2 lunger is saying is that this is not a normal year. We better be prepared to hunt the draws and CRP edges this year until sometimes in November. At least there should still be corn on the ground on into the muzzleloader season.

When you get lemons, make lemonaid. Hunt the edge in low light times, and if it's a windy day, stalk into the wind. You can get pretty close on a windy morning. I have done it some ,and have killed deer in the corn early season with the bow.

Peoria and Woodford Counties are starting the corn and bean harvest. Looks like it just depends on when they got in the fields in the spring.
