I just checked this thread. The first thing I thought of was acorns dropping, like Whip said in post #2. That's usually the thing that gets the deer out of our plots and back into the woods. We can have clover, rye, chicory, oats, apples - you name it - the acorns win out because of the high fat content in them. The deer will still come out to hit the apples and plots - way after dark - but the acorns become the #1 food choice. If soybeans are around, I'd think they'd be a big draw too. One of our camp member's cameras go a little empty this time of year too - probably because of food source changes.
