RE: Soybean Field question...
I was gonna post a question just like this. There is an area I have been scouting that has a bean field that is absolutely freaking ENORMOUS!!!......and plenty of corn around as well.
I went there a couple nights ago and setup in the bean field at a good vantage point with my binocs to see what would come out to eat and where it came from.
Not one single deer entered that field.......not one. I decided to head back to the truck about 15 minutes before dark-dark and there was a doe with 2 fawns right by my truck. They bounded through some pines into a ragweed field so I figured I would head around the side and see if I could catch a glimpse of where they went. I walked around to take a look and found myself instead looking at about 15 deer (all does and little ones) browsing in an open grass field. The 3 by my truck soon came through the pines and joined them. I watched them all for whatever time I had left and went back to my truck to do some spotting before I went home. I saw tons of does and NONE of them were anywhere near this huge bean field........I figured they would be all over that place like a team of lawn mowers.
Are the beans bitter?? I can't imagine all those deer avoiding that bean crop for no reason.
