The beans at our place were harvested about a month ago. I noticed beans starting to sprout again given the heat and few rains we've had. They are ~2" tall. I feel like this is a dumb question but I'll ask it anyway. Has anyone experienced this before where deer will eat the new sprouts?
I didn't notice any browse along the field edges but just curious what to expect.

Yes, they will. I often recommend hunters/managers include beans or other crops that will die with the first frost added to a fall mix. The plants don't last long but can be a real candy plant as they first come up.
 
If i plant early enough, I add Buckwheat to my fall mix. It generally only gets up 4-6 inches before the first frost kills it, but is an absolute deer magnet in fall. Plus, the Buckwheat takes browse pressure off the true fall/winter plants in the mix.

I have approximately 150 acres of ground that was in soy beans as a row crop. Immediately after harvest the farmer drilled in wheat per our lease agreement. By the time the wheat was 2 inches tall there was a carpet of beans among the wheat. They are browsing it pretty good but are still hard on white oaks. Usually frost has killed the beans by now but we seem to have another week or 2. By then the deer will have removed most of the beans.

Exactly same thing happened on one of my fall plots that had a ton of volunteer buckwheat from summer seeding..

Deer were hammering the 2 to 6in buckwheat plants as the fall crop emerged, and they nearly wiped them all put just before this recent hard freeze... perfect timing!
