Not sure how this would apply to some of you especially not shed but for those of you who hunt farmland: I find out well in advance from the farmers on the land i hunt what is going to be planted in what areas. For example an area that may have been hot this fall was mostly due to the field of peas that was planted there. Next year the farmer may plant wheat there, still like wheat but not to the same extent. For me knowing what is in the ground or going in the ground in the spring really dictates where i begin my search. Also different types of crops peak at different times. Deer hit peas hard here in the early season aug-sept or so. In the later of the year they turn to alfalfa heavily as well as second growth from harvested crops that are coming up again. I hunt mainly our land so i am aware of what is goin to be planted although i cannot talk my dad into planting any peas. The neighbor who owns most of the land around us that i hunt is very predictable in his crop rotation so i can pretty much peg what is goin in by looking at what was planted the previous 2 years or so. I am one happy camper because a chunk of land that borders my big boys bedroom is due for peas this year. He won't have to go far for grub be he will be holding there presuming he makes this harsh winter. As soon as i can figure out he is still alive and the peas are in, stands are goin up.
