    Im in need of some advice. Bow season has just started for me. I have great trail cam pictures along this 20 acre corn field unfortunately I have yet to see a deer during daylight hours. Im wondering if I should start hunting bedding areas or stick to the cornfield.

    I would personally stick to the corn and hit up the bedding areas after the corn is picked until the rut is on. That's just me.

    Maybe your access route is not in favor with the wind and you are spreading your scent across the field? I wouldn't get too close to bedding areas this time of year because mothers are still very protective of their fawns and ruining a bedding area could be a big mistake. I'd just be patient and keep hunting the field, it could take one cold front and a favorable moon to get the deer moving during daylight.

    Early season hunt food sources. Later in the season hunt the does/bedding areas.
