    Hunt my stand or hunt from the ground tonight?

    I've seen a lot of deer each time I've sat, but they've all been out of range (had 2 does and 2 fawns at 60 yards last time out, 10+ others were out farther). The spot where I've seen the deer does not have trees big enough for a stand and I do not have a ground blind. Do I chance it and get on the ground tonight or stick to my stand and hope they skirt the corner of the beans where my stand is at?

    The area I'm looking to go to is on the edge of a bean field... Not a ton of cover but there are some small trees and a bit of willows along the edge of the field. I could also try going a row into the cornfield that is right there too.

    If that was already in place for a few weeks, it would be a go.

    Putting that in tonight, to hunt tonight is a non starter. Scent and the deer wouldn't have the trust to venture near.

    Edge into the corn a row or two, if the wind is right, for the win!

    Here is what I’m working with. Yellow is corn. Brown is beans. Red box is where I’d like to set up. Deer do have a trail coming out where the corn/beans meet. Wind would is coming out of the East tonight which would be perfect to get in the corn.
