The wildest feeding story I ever heard involved this guy who every day for 3 months he would bath himself in real cheap aftershave, and carry in a bushel of apples to the same spot and dump it. He stopped doing this about 2 weeks before season because it was illegal to feed/bait deer for that long before hunting season opened. Opening day the guy bathes in the same cheap aftershave, walks to the spot he had been dumping the apples preseason and the deer had learned when they smelled the aftershave apples were being deleivered, he got a nice buck within 15 minutes of sitting down. I do not know if this is true or not, but it makes sense.
I would start what you are talking about before season, not now.
