In all truth I have zero experience with timed feeders. It just seems wrong to me. I do use food plots, but not for hunting over like a bait pile or feeder. They just don't work like that around here. Where I have hunted with food plots here in Wisconsin the hunting pressure far outweighs the attraction of the food. The deer simply readjust their patterns and visit the food plot after dark.
I would kinda think that I would like a buck that stupid to pass his genes on!
