Although most of the guy's say Bucks wont come to feeders,I'll have you know when it comes Rut time where ever those does are the bucks are gonna be REAL close! so yeah don't hunt over a feeder but be sure to be close by, those does aint too shy and if you put out the food THEY will come.Ive shot a few nice bucks no more than 30-40 yards away from a feeder. I even hunted with a guy that had been feeding deer for a couple months before hunting season, we went out to a pop up blind he had set up and he had a recording of the feeder itself with him...long story short he played it and within 20-30 minutes they came in looking for food. Kinda like Pavlov's dog,
it called conditioning.If they're used to the sound = food it don't matter.
