RE: do deer like tall grass or mowed grass better?
If you mow a big open field leave a strip or corner for the deer to be able to cross and you've created your own funnel for the deer.I have seen many deer crossing in the tall grass while avoiding an open field so they could be in the cover.If they do cross an open field they won't hang around very long because they are exposed!I have also seen deer check out a new field that has been plowed and disc-ed up,they are checking what new plants are there to browse on!
