All the fields are wheat where I am hunting...
 

Do deer like to eat the tops off wheat at all? Last year where I am putting my stand it was a beet field and the deer funnel through there like crazy. I am wondering if the different crop will have that big of an effect on where they go. There was one field of beets directly south of where I will be. There is another location that I could go that would be beans. But evertyhing else is wheat.

I hunted over a winter wheat field last year and the stayed in it from daylight to dark

They love freshly planted wheat. But not after it is mature.

Hunt the beets.

Wheat is great!

Nice problem to have. I have no fields or crops where I hunt--and I don't plant food plots, by choice.

You really need to pattern these deer where you want to hunt. I live in suger beet country also and the mule deer love them. I would watch those deer on the area you want to hunt and they do eat in wheat fields. To be sucessful patern them and see where they go and come from.

soybeans are very good attractant until they start to turn yellow and then brown, and then they are good again after harested, but the green winter wheat is good all the time.

It sucks because I can't really scout a whole bunch. I live quite a ways away from where I will be hunting. I just know what they have been doing in the past

By the time bow season starts the wheat will probably be getting harvested pretty quick if it hasnt already, it appears to be turning already here. I'd try the beets or beans. However, deer really seem to like the regrowth from the wheat. Around here the deer are usually in the beans, they really like barley to. I dont usually hunt the beets untill after beet season begins. They really like to pick over the beet fields after they have already been dug.

Yeah I have noticed that they go to the beets alot post beet harvest. The wheat will definately be harvested come opener. How long does it take for regrowth?
