There's a feeder not too far from our camp, on another tract of land abutting ours. When the wind is right, you can hear the thing go on. Some of our guys have gone looking for it multiple times, but have never been able to find it. Do they take more deer there? Apparently not. Do we, on that side of our land? No. The swamps that we have on our land are far more productive.

Yeah, I learned the same thing about shooting does, too. Last year, we had two game wardens, and a forest ranger, independantly tell us that we had to start shooting does. Something about balance in the herd. It's legal during muzzleloading season. Will some of the guys complain? Sure.
