My hunting spot is about 15 acers. It is bordered by a river on 2 sides, acorn field on 1 side and property that I cant go on. In the middle is mostly CRP that has really overgrown. This year, the land owner mowed about half of the CRP right down to the ground. Will the deer like the new growth, or will they not really care. I know they used to use it for bedding, but they still have quite a bit of the CRP for bedding.

Can't see the picture.

There is no picture. I was just wondering if the deer will like the new growth where he mowed the CrP down. I have heard that when you burn part of a woods , the deer will go crazy over the new growth when it comes back. Just wondering if this would be the same.

They will probably just bed in the part that isnt mowed down but who knows they might even feed there some if they start running low on food in the other fields.

The deer should like the new growth as a food source, they should bed in the taller. Id say if you setup somewhere in the middle about 20-30 yeards off a good runway, your chances are pretty good. Remember hunt the does and you will find the bucks...

This is exactly what I was thinking, but was not sure. Thanks for the input guys.

deer love edges , hide and bed in the thick stuff and feed on new tender growth
