All of the crops are picked where I hunt too. But the farmer plants wheat in the ditches and highly erodable areas in some fields, just to keep it from washing. It has been my little secret for the past couple of years. The deer pile into these little areas in the evenings. You just gotta pick the right ditch to sit on and hope the wind is good for that nights sit.

I guess I let the secret out now. But I don't think the other guys that hunt there are on HNI. Another of my secrets.

Also this is the time of year to pay attention to heavily used trails. They will point you in the derection of the food source of choice. There aren't as many options this time of year and all of the deer might be using the same ones. And after the leaves have all fallen trails are easy to spot.

Another good spot is around Honey Locust Trees. The ones with the long skinny seed pods hanging on them. The deer love these things, and a lot of times they hang on until late in the season. If you have any in your area, you need to check them out NOW.
