Hi guys, New hunter, been shooting for 3 years. 44 years old in Vermont. My 10 year old son will be the first to get a shot if its in his 20 yard rage. I get his "leftovers" We have a spot that e chased turkey in the spring on. I have 2 ground blinds. Do not plan to set up tree stand this season. I attached a picture of the land I plan to work starting on October 1st. Questions: Where would you set up your blinds? Right now (Sept. 16th) the corn is huge, like 7-8 feet tall. IF they harvest the corn before opener does that screw everything up? How do you get into your spot undetected? Any other help is appreciated. Matt
That corn will more than likely be gone before the season starts. The farm I hunt the farmer harvests the corn the last few days on September. I would be checking that creek to see where they cross. The spot where the woods bubbles out on the left near that water is where I would be focusing in on. Looks to be a great spot where they would be crossing.
I would be somewhere near that orange star between the fields on the left. You need to account for the prevailing wind-direction ,however
Follow up question: After he corn field is harvested, do the dear move off of it right away? OR is tereenough leftovers on theground to keep tem around for awhile? OR is this the time of year when thety will go look for something other and not deal with harvest leftovers?
It would be interesting to see whats above the top corn field because where the finger of that field pushes in towards the creek looks favorable.
The corn here doesn't start to come out until mid to late October and the deer will use it more once the corn has been harvested. While the corn is standing use that as your cover to walk into the blind.
The deer will eat what is left on the ground. From my experience that happens during the dark hours more then in shooting light. During that time the acorn should be falling too and they will hit those.
Wow great looking spot...I would be somewhere up right by where you have the label flowing creek...the creek and the corn/ hay fields create a little funnel of cover that once corn is cut all deer around will likely travel. I really like to be by creeks myself, but can be tough to see much out of a ground blind.
