RE: Late crop harvest adjustments
Probably the biggest thing that we should be worried about is an early frost this year. The corn in my area will probably have record yields this year, we have a very good crop, and if we get that early frost, everything is going to be wet, and need to be dried. Dumping corn at the elevators will be limited to how fast they can dry it, and it will make for a very long harvest.
As far as tactics for hunting them, I think a person just has to be extra careful not to spook those deer, if they feel threatened there will be plenty of virtually un-huntable cover for them to hide out in and not have to come out of.
