I'm in Texas as well. Baiting is legal , and an accepted way of hunting. Tactics are everything, it is not as simple as setting up a feeder or pouring corn on the ground. Placement of feeders, blinds, etc are critical if you want success. I have seen mature bucks move to feeders, both early season and late, after the rut. Hunting over a feeder is much less successful than hunting over the TRAILS that lead to the feeder. Worst thing you can do is place a feeder in the open. That will guarantee you will never see anything but does, yearlings, and young, inexperienced bucks.
