This is my second year bow hunting, and hunting this parcel. Last year it was a canola field. This year it’s going to be a corn field. I’ve an idea of how and where to go when it was canola, but have zero idea how to hunt this as a corn field. The green outline is the property line. The yellow highlight is my two track access. It is the only access to this property. The bottom right is a swamp that is extremely thick. I’m not able to get thru it until the end of October and generally I’ve stayed out of it.
When it was canola the deer bedded in the property south of mine. Based on what I’ve read and watched it’s my understanding this may flip. In other words they’ll bed in the corn field and go int the woods for acorns and mast. Is that true? I’ve read about stalking the field which sounds fun. Should I still hunt the travel routes from last year? During my scouting this year the travel routes seem roughly the same, but the corn isn’t tall enough to hide them yet. Basically, I’m just looking for some advice on huntimg over a cornfield. This is in Michigan if that matters.
