Jeff, last year i had over 1,000 pictures of two 8 points at my feeder in August and September. I ended up seeing either of these deer a total of 0 times after September. They would still occaisonly show up at the feeder, but it would be well after dark. This tells me that once the weather started getting colder they dispersed out to other areas.

Now this year, i got one of those 8 points coming back again, but i have a buddy who has his pictures about half a mile away too. Im pretty sure he will be gone once the season rolls around.

On the other hand, i had my cameras out all year and i still saw at least 2 bucks that i didnt have pictures of.

As a note - i never hunted over the feeder, so he could have showed up after i took the cams down.
