RE: Opening Day Strategy - Soybeans
Thanks guys. I've never hunted near soybeans before. Last year it was all corn. If I had white oaks around it would be an easy decision. I'm just not sure if deer would prefer RED oaks or Yellow soybeans.
The good news is that the red oaks are very close to the soybean fields. I'll probably set up in the oaks.I think the deer willstage here prior to entering the soybean field.
I also did not know if the deer would still eat yellow soybeans and brown soybeans. Sounds like they will. However, the neighboring properties still have standing corn which could screw up everything for me until the corn comes down.
I glass the beanfields almost every night on my way home from work (around 1 am). I used to see 6 or 8 deer every night. Now I'm lucky to see 1 deer now that the beans are turning yellow.
