peanuts
Anyone else hunt near or over them, here in NC they are the biggest deer magnet I have seen, was out East last year and in a 10 mile stretch passing farm country - soybeans, cotton, and peanuts planted, I counted well over 100 deer - 99% of them were in the nuts, and saw several rack bucks-may have a oppurtuniy to hunt some this year

RE: peanuts
peanuts are very important to our hunting in georgia. for deer and other game. If you can get a farmer to dig a couple acres and leave them in the field it makes for world class dove hunting too..

RE: peanuts
Yep, hunt them alot here. Problem is, is that they are gone way before the rut, they are only there for about the first 2 weeks of bow season before they get dug. But if you can catch a big buck still on his summer pattern, they can work.

RE: peanuts
We have cotton and peanuts farmed here in the panhandle of Florida. The deer love the peanut fields. You can see them in the fields during day light hours even during hunting season and even as hot as it gets down here during mid day.
Even after they are dug up and harvestedthey will continue to draw deer to the fieldsuntil they eat every one that didn't make it to the bins.
