    NOMAD!
    I would try to find a game lands food plot of rape or turnips
    lots of game lands plant this these days, as rape seed is cheap LOL
    but it holds well into winter , up and abve the snow, and right now deer should be a hammering it!
    winter wheat now is a good too, as long as snow is deep
    and we all know, corn rules
    to find standing corn on PA game lands, you want to look for game lands hwere they release pheasant's
    over the past few yrs almost every place they let pen raised birds out, they have planted dwarf corn
    corn only gets about 3+ ft tall, but makes an ear or two, and that right now should be pulling deer hard!
    I know where a lot of it is about me, but your not very close to me , or I would suggest a few places if you wanted!!
    but the game commision does list all its pheasant stocking area's
    so, you should be able to find one near you with standing corn!

    Thats is where I am at. They stock pheasants and there is a small patch of dwarf corn in the field below me. I am hunting between what I believe is a bedding area and the food. they have 3 fields one is green, one is small patch of corn, the other is green. I am giving those a try tonight. Tomorrow I will see what is in the other field. The big fields by the parking area they picked the corn so they wont have as much of a draw. I am still learning this area so It is guess and check for me everytime I go out. I plan on taking the long walk in today to walk by a different field and see if they have any crops still standing.

    Well snow on the ground should maybe help show what ones are being hit hardest too.
    Hell this time of yr, a mid day walk in to bust deer out of bedding, might get them into food sooner in evening too?
    and also show you where there bedding.
    cannot hurt much I think,, almost over here in Pa. And walking is warmer than sitting, 11 degree's here right now, so feel for you , good luck
