Ive had my ground blind set on the corner of a recently picked corn field. There are rubs/scrapes and plenty of bucks on my camera which is on the field edge. Today the field was sprayed with manure.... I opted to hunt in a different location because of this. Will this deter the deer for a short time/long time or not at all? Any info would be appreciated.

Was it liquid from a lagoon or dry? We've sprayed a lot of fields with pig manure and we see an increase in activity from both wildlife and the cattle shortly after the fact. The only thing we can think of is the amount of salt or other minerals in the manure.
One other plus is your cover scent is already chosen. Just rub a little on ya and you're set.

My neighbor has farmed and hunted all his life. He says that the deer leave the cut corn alone after he spreads manure on it. He usually disks it not too long after, so I don't know if they would return.
