This un-harvested field of corn presents a hurdle for hunters, as the countdown to the November gun deer season begins.

“With the corn, not only can you not see the deer, you can't see the people in front of you. Plus, the corn doesn't offer much resistance if there's a bullet that comes through,” says hunter Jason Tepaske.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources says between 30 and 50 percent of all hunting accidents happen when someone from a hunting group accidentally shoots another person—and those risks go up in areas like corn fields.

“You see that type of accident in regular deer drives, but especially in tall standing corn, because of the low visibility,” says John Dunn, a supervisor with the DNR.

Dunn says with the damp conditions, the corn may not be harvested before the season starts.

“Because of all the rain and some snow that’s come through the Dakotas and into Minnesota and Wisconsin, the entire Midwest is behind on the harvest. There's standing soy and corn fields all over,” says Dunn.

And as hunters gear up for the season, they're also reminding themselves of the extra care they'll have to take when driving deer out of corn fields.

"Just use caution,” says hunter Steve Lewallen, “And make sure you see the shot and what’s behind it."

Dunn says when driving deer out of a corn field, it's best to count the heads of your hunting party before you start shooting. That way, everyone's accounted for.

The nine day gun deer season begins on November 21.
