Standing corn

With the cold weather will deer move into the timbers or will they just bed down in the standing corn?
We got corn up and was wondering if sitting in a timber several hundred yards away would be productive or not.
 
Seems like whenever there are larger fields of standing corn like that, a good percentage of deer will be living in it. Especially if there's hunting pressure in the woods. Don't know your specifics on that, but my sense is that you won't go wrong sticking fairly tight to the corn.

Is this for a gun-hunting setup? Have you been hunting in the timber earlier (bow, etc.)?
 
I think I'd want to be in a stand on the field/timber edge as they often travel the edges.

They'll likely be in that corn this time of year... /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
 
Most of the deer I see this time of the year only eat snow. Cuz the ice is too thick!! /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif Just the warm colored snow.
 
This is for shotgun. My timber is several hundred yards away and I have been bow hunting in there but not lately. There is a pasture with a nice grove of cedars in it right next to it. Seems like this might be the place to be. I do have food plot in my timber but doesn't seem to be getting allot of action. I haven't been out there for several weeks though. Might be easier to see what's going on with the snow on the ground.
 
Hunt second season. We have a lot of corn still out where I hunt so I am holding off till second season. Hope the snow and ice don't mess things up to bad for the farmers.
