All the deer I hunt is in farmland country....I don' t see one bit of a decline in deer going to fields(corn or beans) after they have been combined. I stay on the same stands that I hunted when the crops were in the fields. Even when they are tilled...chances are all the fields around the area are also so there really isn' t any " easy" food to get. The deer will still come to the fields to eat like normal. Especially if the fields are chisel plowed versus being plowed. Chisel plowing still leaves a bunch of crop visible and easy to get to for all the pheasants and deer. Hope this helps.
