There's a cotton field I pass in the late evenings and early mornings on my way to and from work. I drive 50 something miles to work and it's rural all the way. I drive through two hunting preserve plantations on the way. I see a lot of deer, turkeys, and hogs.
I've seen more deer in other places but this one cotton field has more deer in it consistently than any other area along my route. I've stopped and watched them through binoculars often. Saw a huge buck one day just lying about two hundred yards out in the field.
I've thought about trying to get permission to hunt there but I've got one question: Those deer are feeding on the cotton plants. Cotton plants get sprayed with a bunch of different pesticides. Would this be a concern?
