I think in this low rain yr, you might be better off hunting near water
what ever crop is closer to water, would be my pick.

in my area when deer are hitting corn over beans, they LIVE In the corn, ONLY time they come out is for water, and back it they go
it offers them shade, cover and safety and food
they will come busting out when they start to combine it!

the other thing is too, if its HOT out, odds are many of the big one's are being active in the cover of darkness, to also stay cooler

SO< water again is the main eason they will be moving in the day light hours, to digest there food they will het water a few times
SO, if they eat all night, the water trips can be day time hot spots!
