got a couple of questions
1 can you tell the differnt from tracks of a doe and a buck
2.when will deer really hit soybeans.
3 if you where setting on a wood line near a field and looking into the field would you think a decoy say 10 yards out in the field in your shooting lane would be a good idea

RE: got a couple of questions
Big Tim,
Since a couple means "two", I'll address the first two questions
:
1. Buck tracks will have two dimples behind the hoof track. The "dimples" are the dew claws.
2. The deer are destroying the soybeans already right now here in Southern Iowa.
3. Actually, I'll answer this one too....I don't know, I've never used a decoy.

RE: got a couple of questions
i know they have been in the field since there is fresh dropping but i have not seen much in the way of beans being eatin
they are still rather shortmaybe 6 to 8 inchs high on average
i think thye may have been planted late. Might be because this is a field set on govt hunting land.

RE: got a couple of questions
As far as the soy beans question goes, I havent seen a deer in mine yet. I have found that since I have been planting them they wont touch them until the tops turn yellow. I wait until the first good frost

RE: got a couple of questions
Bucks have a wider walk. So you end up getting a back leg track next to a front one. Does often are straight. Plus the dew claws. Thats what I look for.
Gonna check tomorrow to see if they are in the beans yet.
Might try a decoy for the 1st time myself.
