Bowhunting the corn this weekend

[chiefbkt]

Been on the combine since 12. Got the first 25 acres done, 15 left to go. Wish I was in stand tonight instead of the seat of a combine! Needless to say, I'll be sitting in my climber and hunting the cut corn field this weekend.

With a front moving in that would be a great spot. Not that I agree, but someone found out a while back that hunting fresh cut corn is illegal? Can't remember where they found it.

It is not illegal to hunt over fresh cut corn.  In fact it is perfectly legal to hunt over a brush-hogged corn field.

 

The later surprised me, so I asked ECO Stansfield and he confirmed it is legal.

 

Should I be so shocked at so much mis-information on a forum

What is illegal hunting over a spilled pile of corn made by the farmer.

I am willing to bet whoever to you this Belo read the waterfowl regs.....

I'll be along this. They cut about 50 feet around the edges and a couple passes through the little corn field by 2 of my stands. To muddy in parts I think.

Good Luck!

Next year I'm not planting to the field edges. I'm gonna leave enough room on the edges to get a wheeler down them and hopefully create a little more room for the deer to stroll along.

I don't believe I stated it as fact.

Hows the yield doing? The price better get of that  $ 4.40 mark and get back up to $7 dollar corn. We're running into fungus and end ear rot here. Most likely due to the wet conditons this year. Don't know if it will be #1 or #2 corn yet.

Yields are pretty good, in the 140 range. No disease here, our big field is planted on a "drumlin" and the other is a pretty good size hill, so we get pretty good drainage. Price was $4.30 last I knew...ouch! Luckily we don't sell much so we don't rely on that income. We have a good bartering system with our neighbor so that's where most of it goes.

The farm I hunt is getting two hundred yield per acre on thee best fields as of today.

Wow, that's pretty good yield. We did better on out second field, ~170 or so.
