X2 stx!!

Find pinch points!!! And then very warm boots!!

Ditto

Fyi Mark the animal not the tree

Damn Germans..... Tree on the trail I thought he would take... Apparently he was 10-15 yards further

Wasn't judging was lazering just wronng target.

In my defense I was on my knees below the scrub oak canopy...and a little pumped after having it thrash trees and scream at me at 60 yards for 20 minutes

See if he will leave just a little of his crops standing.

thrash trees and scream at me at 60 yards for 20 minutes

There's no doubt I'm going, just wondered if anybody with experience hunting cut corn or soybean crops could give me some tips.

Sounds like a great deal. Anyone else hunting the property? I would get me an aerial view of the property to start with to see how the farmland, timberland and river bottom lay. Then start from there once I got on the place.

What would really help your success is if you could make a trip up and scout this summer. To find old sign and find the pinch points ahead of time. Maybe even hang a stand or two to get ahead of them game and cut some shooting lanes now. Any idea how much of the land will get flooded if the river is up and flooding? Might effect your hunting a bunch if it happens.

in that case yes I have both.....you have to have boots on the ground to find where they are entering/exiting the field. I suggest if your buddy lives close by you ship him some of your trail cams and beg he put them up for you to help narrow down your options a little bit before you get there to scout. you can give him general ideas by using google earth, but best method is eyes on the funnels, draws and spurs that lead down into the corn/soybeans. also try to pinpoint on google earth where you think the bedding area may be so that when you get there you don't accidentally go trapsing through it messing up the deer's travel patterns. GOOD LUCK to you my friend, you won the lottery!!

Get on google earth and you can print your own smaller maps off the internet. You can also mark the perimeter and likely blind spots also on it. Sounds like a really great place.

Thanks, I'll have to get on there this weekend and see if I can figure out how to look at it all on Google Earth. I have never really used it much. I'm pretty excited about the trip. I lost my lease this season due to the landowner selling some of the property so this came at a perfect time for me. The landowner said that his only rule is that when we go hunt we shoot at least one doe each. I'm not really driving that far to shoot does but if that's what it takes then I will. Maybe I can kill a new world record the first morning and then I can shoot does the rest of the week for him.
