What i noticed is their taste change during the season. Obviously all summer they are eating the leaves but when it turns cool and the leaves yellow they really hit the green strips we plant. Then as the season goes along and gets cooler they start murdering the beans but even then they eat both. They will come out of woods eat beans for while, then eat the greens, then back to beans and so on. I think towards the end of season they like both.

Our beans usually last to the end of the year. Usually gone in late Jan or early Feb. We have a fairly low deer density.

Glad to hear you can top sow in standing bean,s.you have a petty place you hunt. I'm kinda in the sameboat,just a little bit different. I have solo hunting right,s to 55 acre,s of land.30 acre,s are swamp,other is a 20 acre soybean field ,that leads back to another 5 acre soybean field that borders the swamp.the beans are above waist high. And loaded with beans.the farmer made the land owner get a deer permit to shoot the deer at night.im the only one that can shoot them.the permit is for 10 deer no buck,s has to be does, but you can't move the deer only to the edge of the woods. I do my like it but they said if I wouldn't shoot them they would get someone else that would .so I killed 5 back during june,but I just shoot in the air to make them think I've killed more .the guy planted round up ready soybean,s and the guy at the feed store told me they would keep growing due to deer browse.i don't really want to shoot them right now because there dropping their fawns. So what should I do.

If you are going to broadcast over the beans do it just before a rain or the birds will eat most of them.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Still a little unsure about what the hogs will do to the standing beans, but we will find out soon enough.

We only planted about 1 acre of beans (two 0.5 acre plots) and were worried about the deer clipping them off before they ever had a chance to get started. I used a couple treatments of Milorganite to keep the deer off (1 bag per plot at planting and a 1/2 bag per plot 3 weeks later). They are getting hammered now, but our intent was for them to have the soybean plants to eat rather than keeping them off the whole summer so that we could have pods. That said, they are blooming, but no idea if we'll end up with pods or not. I do expect to have one very small area with pods, it's behind a little fence I rigged up.

We don't have hogs though and doubt the Milorganite would slow them down.
