What crop do your deer like most?
 
In the area you hunt which of these three crops do the deer tend to like most?

It truely depends on the time of the year beans late season here but early bow season is fresh seeded oats. Summer it is alfalfa. So you must do your homework on when you will be hunting.

All of the above. They love the beans early, love the corn a little later and love the wheat in early Jan.

Late spring beans, thru thesummer, then corn with winter wheat in the fall thru winter.

Farmers gone broke around us, the deer eat acorns mostly.

All 3 of those are usually pretty good, but Milo is also a favorite around here... especially in the late season with snow.

We hunt 60,000 acres with absolutely no farm land. Just woods, clear cuts and swamps. I guess they eat browse and beech nuts.

I vote corn also...but I do think it may have something to do with corn providing more cover for them to eat.

Late summer into fall - Beans
Fall through winter - Corn
From late fall into spring they really hit the winter wheat fields hard.
