Default need advice

so where I hunt, the farmer just planted a small crop of corn maybe 7 acres. it runs along a hard road. now on the back side is a path for the tractor, but it is grass so i cant really see any tracks. it runs straight down the back of the field and into the woods some. on the other side of the road is a wooded pasture, and i know the deer are travelling through there. the road goes into the woods right at the corner of the field. here is where it gets tricky, for me at least. the whole way down that road you can see tracks going into the corn at different places. now there are also tracks that appear like they are moving on the edge of the corn. Should i post up at the corner of the field or should i post up in the middle. I feel like either way is a crap shot.maybe i need to just pick a spot and watch then figure it out when i know where the deer are moving. what do yall think?

Sent up 10-20 yards into the woods at the corner of the field.

More than likely they congragate there before they enter the field at sundown.

Put a cam out, then you'll know exactly what is going on and when. Save yourself the work of relocating your stand or sitting in a stand where the big one isn't moving only to know this after you set up out of range and he disappears after only seeing him that one time. This happened to me and it sucked! I have since bought many cameras and use them anytime I am scouting an area as well as the rest of the year.
The advice above is also good, I assume the same but feel better knowing than assuming.
