The deer never really stop eating the beans, they'll be eating them after they're cut and picking the scraps off the ground.
The benefit of the corn being cut means the deer that are bedding in the corn, eating the corn, drinking the puddles from the irrigation, and sleeping there, now move into the woods where you have a better crack at them. You can also see across the fields which helps with the scouting, as the deer come out in the evening to field. There's still plenty of ccorn on the ground, so they'll still be eating it, depending on the acorns. It's just a good time as it coincides with the cooler weather, and the start of pre rut activity. Pushes those bucks into the woods where we can find their first scrapes and serious rubs. Now they have a more defined pattern, bedding to feeding in the evening, and feeding to bedding in the morning, more or less. It's easier to pattern some deer that are traveling every day, vs some that are staying in the vast cornfields all the time. Of coursem, it also signifies the October lull, but that's another story. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
