Justin-
Where I hunt the fields are used only for hay, there are no agricultural crops in the vicinity. Last week the fella that cuts the hay ran his tractor across the field and I was on stand about 150 yards inside the field edge and could see him. The deer didn't mind him or the tractor at all, I had several does and a spike walk within site and did not seem spooked in the least.

I seem to recall from a previous post that you are in Illinois? There the crops are agricultural and the combines and such are in the fields for longer durations compared to the hay cutting which I encounter here in WV. So, my point is.....if the very seldom use of equipment here does not seem to bother them a bit, I would guess that you really have no worries.

Go get em' and post the pics when you get back! Good luck!
