My game cam has pictures of Beagles about 1:00 in the afternoon. By 3:30, two does were at the feeder. Go figure.
As far as the feeder goes, I spend about 3 days in the stand to 1 when I see deer. The woods are so thick here that you can't go thru them to track a deer. you have to hunt openings. Other parts of the country have woods that you can drive a truck thru. Ours ar emore like jungle.
