Depends on the time of year...early on hunt the beans, then Mid Oct, in the woods for the acorns and big oaks..when it turns cold late Oct and November deer need carbs to stay warm and corn is loaded with carbs ,so hunt corn when it turns cold...right now the big oaks are hot with buck activity...the corn is good too, but I hunt the edge of corn preferrably with a Big Oak tree on the edge somewhere within shooting distance...

I remember a weekend last year during muzzleloader season. There was a crusty snow a few inches deep. The deer were focused on beans because the stubble was above the crust and there must have been some beans above the snow, making them easier to get to.
On bare ground, I'd say they would have been on corn.

Set-up in the woods between the beans & corn 50-100 yards in to their staging areas.....

Set-up in the woods between the beans & corn 50-100 yards in to their staging areas..... Morning set up would be in woods catching the deer coming out of the field and into bedding area....Afternoon set up would be similar, but with a view of the field, you want to be in the travel area between bedding and feeding. Scouting and knowing the terrain of your hunting area pays big dividends. |
