A friend and I went out and did some spotlighting for deer tonight...........and we saw what we were looking for!
A 140class P&Y whitetail is sure a pretty sight feeding in a beanfield in Nebraska(or anywhere else). I have a stand hanging ina "funnel" about 100 yards from where we "shined" him!lol
He was with a small buck and 4 does.........he didnt hang around to long after we pointed the light at him..........go figure!
If youv got a soybean field close to your huntin ground,"shining" the beans after dark is a great way to see exactly what kind of deer you have runnin your woods!
This tactic works greatwhen thebeans are still green ,after they start turning brown they dont hit them as hard.

Hope ya nail one down man! It isn't legal to "shine" here in IL but I see a very respectable number of animals by simply driving the roads and glassing the beans. I've seen some great animals this season despite the sever drought. Saturday I had a group of 5 bucks that weren't 50 yards from the truck and 4 were solid P&Y class animals.Good luck to ya this fall

Its fun to go after a particular buck. Good luck!

Yeah, I dont believe it has affected the deer - bucks in particular like everyone had thought. Deer get plenty of their moisture out of certain plants not just from a creek, pond or stream. When they get dry they are eating plenty of foilage.
