Here we do not have much in line of corn and soybeans growing. We do have miles and miles of wooded areas, with a scattered deer population. I preffer to hunt around the hardwoods and mostly after a lite rain. Deer here like to travel around the edges of cedar swamps, or thick fur trees before entering the hardwoods. Looking for them around these types of areas should help you out. For as far as funnels you would be hard pressed to find them here. Deer just wander where ever they want as it is not a consintrated population. They just keep moving around in different areas. The hardwoods though they will wander through in the middle of they day if there is no pressure. Also in the summer months look around swamp land with a lot of ferns growing and you should see signs from the does there. For as far as finding funnels check around a stream as deer here normally like to cross them at the same place over and over. Good Luck.

I live in Southern Ontario also. I would be glad to help you out!
To start with I would recommend some trail cameras. They coul show you the bucks you think aren't there. Looks like you have bagged lots of deer already so getting deer isn't your issue its that big one you want right? During the rut the big ones will be following the does, so you need to have the discipline to not shoot the first legal deer in your sights. You likely were in a position to get a crack at a big one and blew it by taking a doe or smaller buck and then proceeded to dress it right there. There are basically 2 ways of scoring big bucks, first pure luck and second passing up the smaller ones.

I've been Bowhunting for 12 years and my report is 15does 6 bucks.
BUT THERE ARE TONES OF MONSTERS HERE. My biggest is 132"
So you've taken 21 deer in 12 years WITH A BOW? One of them being a very nice buck? What's the problem? Sounds like you get a deer every year and some years you're getting two. You should be giving me advice

I feel for you and believe me you have a baaaaad problem. Better quit hunting and invite all of us to help thin the herd.

Sounds like a BIG PROBLEM with so much land to hunt. From my little experience I would suggest hunting the thicker area's-more trees and brush, I've never had much success right on the field edge.

I would be willing to scout lots and do a couple days hunting. PM Me. I hunt about 2900 acres up north, but am always willing to scout/plan/put up stands.
Do you have a trail camera?

Oh and as previously suggested, get some google maps printed off or use google earth. They are both free.
A Gps will definitely help you, as will always being as scent free as possible. This is extremely important if you scout close to hunting season.
