That is a very good tactic to try. The fields that have just been worked within the last day or two, and the fields currently being worked , can be food gold mines and the deer know that.

It also works for logging operations. Here in south arkansas you can often see deer walking down the trails that the skidders push as they are hauling trees out to their loging sets. The deer follow behind them by 100-200 yards, eating fresh browse, and they also like having easy trails to walk down. If they dont feel threatened, a deer will use those trails like a highway, for better faster travel. and then go back into the woods when they get next to an area where they might feel threatened, like where the trail comes back out on an actual road.

If there is a good corner in your field where you can find where 2 or 3 entry trails converg into the grain field. Set up on that gold mine in the early evening and have a ball.

Good luck to you and God Bless.
