re: Was glad to get back to recording in the stand this weekend

The deer on our place in Mississippi will eat the plants and foliage up until they are defoliated...they will not eat the cotton itself.

A heavy browse line is evident in the cotton after defoliation along the edges of the field where the trees' drip lines are in the way of the tractor when they defoliate.

Another thing we have found is that in years when cotton is planted our property holds much more deer as the cotton stands higher than beans/corn after harvest.

In the evenings and morning you'll literally just have deer stand up out of the cotton that you didn't even know where there.

Few years back I would of laughed at the idea of hunting cotton fields but now I would probably choose a cotton field over a harvested bean or corn field.
