The feeling of angst begins deep inside about the same time every autumn. As a confirmed farmland deer hunter, I suspect I am not the only one with such concerns brewing as October heads toward November. It starts with watching nightly. Is the weather going to be dry?

Is some frost coming? Though, I don’t want a real hard freeze. It continues with frequent visits to small-town newspaper websites in southern Wisconsin, western Minnesota, the counties bordering the Missouri River in South Dakota, the river breaks and table lands of eastern Nebraska, and anywhere else I might be hunting in the upcoming rut or gun seasons. I’ll even stream in radio stations from afar to hear the announcers give local. So, what am I so intent on learning? The progress of the local corn harvest and how the army of combines is doing at bringing in the golden kernels.

Such concern spreads far beyond the regions mentioned. Visit places like Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, certain portions of Pennsylvania and western New York and you'll hear the same mantra wherever hunters gather — we're going to have some tough hunting if the corn is up. The Challenge When much of the corn crop is standing, whitetails have almost everything they need — cover and food — in one place. Water is the only part of the habitat equation that could be in short supply, but that problem is easily enough solved under the cover of darkness. Therein lies the challenge: How to hunt whitetails in a jungle of cornstalks. Whether it’s a 5-acre corn patch tucked away on the backside of a farm, a 40-acre field of the stuff or a full quarter-section of 160 acres, it is downright challenging to kill a deer in standing corn. However, that doesn't mean the task is impossible. The most important thing I learned about hunting deer in standing corn when I shot my first whitetail in the stalks is that I would not have killed that buck had I been sitting in the deerless woods or, worse yet, sitting at home feeling like the cause was lost.

What is less known, but equally important, is that Family Man produced some of the most challenging and experimental reggae of the 1970s and 80s, issuing unique works in small quantity in Jamaica on a range of short-lived record labels. He has also been one of the most important Jamaican session musicians, beginning with the Hippie Boys in the late 1960s, and after helping reggae to become better established internationally as a member of Lee 'Scratch' Perry's Upsetters band, he also performed bass duties for a range of noteworthy producers, including Bunny Lee and Keith Hudson, among many others.

Here are five ways to shoot a whitetail when the corn is up. Stalk the Stalks A field of standing corn is a daunting thing. But sometimes it is best approached on your own and on the move. It’s time to stalk the stalks. While I've done the majority of my solo corn hunting with a slug gun, the technique also works with a centerfire rifle (crank that scope power down for close-range aiming), muzzleloader and even archery gear.

Ideal weather for solo cornfield stalking consists of a good breeze that blows along (parallel with) the rows. Hunt into the wind so deer don’t scent your approach. Damp ground helps quiet your approach. A little snow on the ground — for spotting deer against dark ground and tan stalks — is perfect but not essential. The breeze also rustles the stalks and masks any inadvertent sounds you may make. Start at the downwind end of the field, off to one side. Sneak across the rows, sticking your head into each opening to look up the row (into the wind) for bedded deer.

Take your time, don’t knock down stalks and cross the field this way. Then head into the wind 30 or 40 yards along the outside edge — far enough that you will be covering new ground as you cross the field again, this time heading across in the other direction and peering up the rows. Keep repeating this process. Whitetails like to bed within the rows. Look for pieces and parts of deer on your peeks up rows — a haunch, a flicking ear, a twitching tail, or the slope of a nose. That “sparrow” you saw flit might have been a deer’s ear twitching, for example. If you spot a deer, back up a few rows (count them), sneak up that row in the deer’s direction, then cut back to the deer's row for a closer shot.

Bowhunters especially have to be patient now, perhaps waiting for the deer to shift position, or stand up, for a better shot. Firearm hunters can find a good angle and plant a slug or bullet in the deer’s boiler room. Dress the part.

Light-colored prairie or desert pattern camouflage works well in corn. So does waterfowl camouflage, with its vertical reed-and-cattail patterns. Quiet fabrics — fleece or wool — are essential. No blue jeans or canvas. Wear a facemask and gloves.
