GOOD question Timm!
If it was the very tail of the rut it would depend.
A) If the bucks are not running the does hard anymore I would concentrate on their bedding areas and the available acorns then the Wheat field. Bucks are tired and going to need to replenish. If the acorns are real sparse, then hit the wheat.
B) If the bucks are still running does...then hunt the does...the bucks will be where they are and I would use attractant scents (estrous, tarsal etc..). Chances are the bucks are hitting the scrapes at night. So the final analysis, hunt the does and their bedding areas...the bucks will be there.
Hope you bag a big boy! Say hi to the family.
