So I have permission to hunt this land in SD. There are some trees around the house and barn complex (pictured below) that my brother in law says he sees deer coming in and out of in the fall. Im not married to the saddle for this hunt, my BIL also has a ground blind and I could also go to the ground. A crazy part of me wants to hunt off the combine while he is combining corn. Lol.
Anyway its about 6k acres under crop and an aditional 8 or 9k of pasture for cattle. Not really any trees outside the house complex. They grow corn, millet, sunflowers, oats, wheat and soybeans. I am gonna go out later and walk the property, look for shed antlers, etc. My thought would be to setup on the edge of the trees northwest of the cattle pens if there are still standing crops in those adjacent fields.
Stangely he said he mostly noticed the deer moving into the trees at dusk and out at dawn which seems backwards to me, but my thought was maybe that they are actually bedding down in the crops and moving through the woods to get to water in the evenings.
I am going to try to get up there before he gets all the crops in because he says once the crops are gone the deer tend to bunch up into huge herds on whatever farms failed to get their crops in before the conditions got too bad.
