By "in front of my stand" do you mean you have a half acre of land without beans that he will not be running the combine over? If this is the case, you are in the money. You don't need much. A half acre is great.

Otherwise for the price of oats, you still might get 3 or 4 weeks of good hunting out of them before the farmer harvests, and that would be worth it, just buy regular field oats from the a farm supply store. Last time I checked with mine, the were running 4 bucks a bushel and you would need 2 bushel, max. Good luck!!
