Your my guy, but I disagree Dan, I can go place a stand on the edge of a 200 acre corn/bean field....and hope a deer either walks along the field edge or comes down the one trail, out of 50 that lead into the field that I am on.
In Texas or other states where baiting is legal, your sitting over a feeder thats timed and spreads a 15-20' circle of corn, and is usually the main food source deer prefer, so they get conditioned as to when that timer goes on and off, so a hunter could literally arrive at his stand 5-10 minutes before the feeder is set to go off.
