First off, good post Hiawatha, I've been hunting farmland most of my life. Knowing what the crops are going to be has always been a big part of my hunting strategy. I have a stand in a fence row between two crop fields that rotate between corn and beans, sometimes alfalfa. The fence runs N & S. My hunting is always better when the corn is on the E side for some reason.
On another note, here's a pic of what I think is a shed buck from my Cuddeback. What do you guys think? BTW, due to snow or something, a 6" diameter tree bowed completely over and poked a branch in front of my camera. The deer, mostly does & fawns, started using it for a licking branch. Sounds cool but a lot of the pics are showing only the bottom of their chin and jaw, so I broke it off and tossed it. I wanted to get better shots of their heads.

Strangely, the tree is bowed like the McDonalds arches, from NE to SW. What would cause it to do this??
