Corn field bucks

[TallTines]

How do you kill a buck that lives in the corn? Dose he ever come out or dose he stay in there untill the corn is cut. Do I walk the hole edge of the field and find out were he go's in and comes out?

Should I walk the hole corn field and look for buck tracks going in and coming out

My guess is there are deer tracks going in and out of the corn all over the place. Mature bucks bedding in corn are usually not bedding in the corn itself, but rather along a grassy ditch or brushy area within the corn. They can bed based on an elevation within a corn field too... The very few times I have seen big bucks bed in corn without some kind of structure it seemed to be because there was no good cover around anywhere else and there was heavy pressure.

The issue for corn bedding is that a buck picks his beds for 360 degrees of safety. He wants to see, smell, or hear anything coming from any direction. If he just flopped down between two rows he can't smell, see, or hear anything in a few directions. Not a situation most bucks will put themselves in.

I have shot a few bucks hunting waterways in the corn fields the deer use them like roads. On one property I hunt every year it's planted in corn I know I'm gonna do well.

Interesting. I have a place I could hunt that sounds like this. I have wanted to hunt it a few times, but continue to find an excuse to pass it by.

The hold back I have had was the lack of good access to the waterway for this particular place. I would sound like a D9 Dozer coming through there and would probably attract more vampires than anything with the loss of blood id have from being torn to shreds by honey locust...

Standing corn can hold alot of deer of there is alot of pressure in the nearby woods. I've read that windy days is ideal to stalk for bedded deer in standing corn. That is something I like to try sometime. I also seen my old neighbors drive corn fields during gun season and push out some nice bucks in the past too.
