This is the exact same problem I started having last year. I took your advice and had several spots I was corning but every single time I went into any of them I’d never see a deer. Then I would check my cameras about every four weeks and I’d see them at the corn almost every day until it was gone. I finally figured out they were bedding within about 20-30 yds from the pile and practically living there. Apparently any time I’d go into there they’d just walk away. I never busted deer out going in, I just wouldn’t see them. I had to abandon that idea and just start trying to figure out their routes to and fro.

Pressured Deer Are EASY To Pattern
Needing some opinions here. Biggest deer on the place have been killed at the stand east of 1, and the stand north east of 6.
Purple- property line
Red-existing member’ stands
Blue- my stands
Yellow- potential areas for feed pens with hand corn
1, 6, and 5 are three I’ve been thinking hardest about. Biggest deer on the property skirted the area around 3,4, 5 all season. Between 2 and the well site we have seen some big deer. I think the creek bed south east of 1 is the natural funnel I’m looking for. Briar and pine thicket around furthest south blue dot, potential sanctuary area. Large creek with steep banks on south property line. All of the oak areas with less dense trees are creek beds and sloughs. Yellow dot 1 looks awesome, rattled in a deer there last year sitting under a pine skirted with berry vines. He came out of the creek funnel behind me. Dot number 6 is an awesome open oak thicket, with most of the Deer seen in that side of our place coming out of those creeks. I have had numerous bucks running does in there over the years. All red and blue dots have feeders as well. The notorious “nocturnal” deer re very abundant on our place. Am I on the right track with my thinking? Dot number 2 is kind of a highway on that curve of the caliche oilfield road. This is East Texas by the way, tough hunting but the deer are there. Not many morning hunts are made after bow season, not many people up there during season but the deer are wary of fourwheelers and people. Any more insight?
