Yes there are pros and cons. Many outffiter operations do it all over North America from Texas to Canada do it. Your from WV you know all the feeders that are all over the place. I honestly have not seen all the deer gather at just one feeder all the time. But Yes it is a concern. But then again they are just as dead if they starve to death. I am going threw 1000 lbs a month since october.I will slow it down once the vegetation comes back, Then plant sweet corn, some grains,turnips, clover and etc. OH and I put 30 pounds of liquid molasses out for the first time this year. They went crazy container licked spotless. All gone in three weeks. They were even rolling in the molasses I put on the ground.
