Deer and Combines
I've read a few questions/comments lately about how deer react to combines, and have also wondered myself how this relationship works.
Well Friday evening I went out videoing and was very surprised to see this relationship in full effect.
A combine had just begun harvesting a corn field and had just cut a strip down the center of the field then moved about 200 yards down the field for hisreturn stripback.
It couldn't have been 4 minutes since the combine left that initial cut and as I watched, 3 deer appeared from the standing corn into the cut lane to eat the corn that had spilled from the harvesting.
From what I saw, the noise of the tractor didn't scare the deer at all - more like it rang the dinner bell! Just thought some might find this interesting.
