[QUOTE="lameduck, post: 863219, member: 7530"] We feed corn and protein all year but do not hunt over the feeders. We just use them to keep the deer on our ranch because we have ranches on the North and NE sides of us that lease their land out and they shoot anything that walks under the feeder. So do we have more opportunity to see deer because of feeders, yes. We feed a mix of corn and protein at 7 locations on 1,500 acres, and our closest tree stand to a feeder is about 600 yards. So we are not hunting the deer at our feeders, but we are also trying to protect our herd from the lease hunters from Dallas. Hunting mature bucks at a feeder during hunting hours is not your best bet anyway. While they come in during the night most big mature bucks will not come close to a feeder during the day. The exception is during the rut if you have a hot doe under your feeder, but sometimes they will still just lurk in staging areas and wait for the doe to leave. [/QUOTE]
