I was wondering if I should put out a automatic deer feeder this year, I used a gravity feeder that I made, it was a hit, but the coons kept digging the corn out.

In MS. it has to be 100 yards and out of sight from the blind.
How long would it take for them to get use to the noise? They like that apple corn !

I could put it in a location that's hidden from the fields (food plots) ! That way they could smell it and look for it out of curiosity, if it's a problem.
