Ive heard of them eating the seeds too, but never hunted over it, or seen it myself.

I've heard they will, but I can tell you I hunted a cut cotton field yesterday morning and evening and saw nothing. Very few tracks in the field. And this is a spot that is loaded with deer. When it is planted in wheat it is loaded with tracks.

Standing stalks are way better. But yes deer will use cut stalks too. Just give them time to adjust to little cover

I've killed a many of deer in Georgia on cotton fields. One of the main places I hunt in the evenings if we don't have soybeans planted.

They like the greenery that comes up in between the rows. I also know they will eat the young bolls in cotton when they are hungry. The poor man that farmed where I hunt finally gave up. Too many deer to grow soybeans so he went back to cotton and they wore him out on that.


Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

They love cotton seed to, when I had a place in Mississippi I killed more on fresh cut cotton than fresh cut corn. I started feeding cotton seed meal above anything else after seeing how much they liked it. That's my secret to a trophy room rivaled only by Troy's (his wood work looks better)

Hmmm...this area hasn't been hunted and has a creek running behind it. I think I might try it out Saturday morning

I hunted a creek creek crossing accessing a cotton field at
my place in Mississippi on 3 mornings between daylight and 10 am 3 of us shared that stand and killed 3 mature bucks within an hour. None of us used under armour, scent blocker, Thomson center, scentless soap, nightforce scopes, Barnett crossbows, or knight & hale calls. It is was the be damndezt place I ever hunted. I hated to sell it but after a couple years of owning it I sold it for just over 4x's what I paid for it.

Bucksville Fatboy described my place as the prettiest place god ever let a peckerwood claim use of.
