Ground Blind Question
I have a wooden ground blind that I made. It is portable and can setup about anywhere. I have in the past set it up at the edge of the woods or in a heavily covered fencerow...brushed it in and we are good to go.
This year I am thinking of sitting it about 100 yards from a woods out the middle of a picked corn field. I would certainly cover it with corn stalks so that it blends totally in with the field, etc. Do you think this would work OR would the deer be wise to that little patch of corn left in the field?

We have done it with out pop up blind in the edge of a stand of 6 rows of standing corn the farmer could not get for it was too wet at the time. We put it the timbers side and brushed it in with cornstalks same as you said you were going to do. All there was about 20 yds of corn he could not get off the headlands.
We had deer eat the corn hanging off the stalks used for camo!!!!!!
They broke the stalks!!!!! We killed 5 deer out of that pop up that season. We walked to the stand from the standing corn side and into the open window on the back side so as not to be seen going to it.
