Soybean harvest

[kybuckbuster]

I’m hunting the lower side of a funnel and up above me there are soybean fields. I just found out the farmer is harvesting the soybeans tomorrow. Will deer still frequent the field the same for the next week or so? I’m not familiar with how efficient the combine is and if it leaves behind food/soybeans that the deer will feed on. Thanks in advance! Trying to figure out if the harvest will change their behavior before Saturday!

in my experience the deer Will act differently now if they were using the field. But the leaves they initially feed on are long gone and usually it’s later in the year when beans fully dried out before they eat them.

Harvesting noise won't bother them. Harvesting them will actually help. The deer will start feeding on any beans that make it on the ground. Good luck.

I agree with Adam. Beans are great early when they are all green. Once they are dried up, I see more deer in the fields with the beans gone.

It’ll be a good thing. They’ll feed on the beans on the ground and any green stems in the fodder. I’m running my beans now, seeing more deer everyday and tracks and digs all in the harvested fields.

If your worried about the noise don’t, they won’t pay it a bit of attention

I’ll be glad when they get the beans out next door to my land. Hopefully it’ll pushem to me. They already harvested them on another farm I got.
