corn, shelled or standing

[wtnhunt]

Is there a way to tell from a busted open gut pile if the corn it is from a pile or a standing corn field? 

I barely covered the buck carcass and gut pile from the buck I killed last week, upon looking at the area this morning saw that there was what looked like shelled corn from a bag, whole kernel.  Baiting is not legal here, most corn I know of around the area came out by the end of October.  Thinking even if there was standing stalks left after the end of October picking how much corn would even be left in December and would it lol like bagged shelled or more like chewed cracked corn?  Not sure whether I need to give our warden a call or not? 

A drone would sure be handy for something like this.
