Managing Game Feeders
I have deer comming to a pile of food regularly.... But the bucks are comming in the middle of the night. Any thoughts on getting them in during shooting hours. Here is what I am getting on my Trail Cam @ 1:15am....

Don't put out more feed than they can eat during the day , besides wasting feed they can choose when they'll come in . Better yet , get a feeder with a timer and set it for daytime feeding only .

I will be getting the game feeder this week. Although I like the Idea of the Open/Closed sign and it's more affordable the deer in Howard County are illiterate. Ill post more pics as they come in after the feeder is up.

I feed a lot as well and in my experience if you visit the site too many times while not hunting it can cause the bigger bucks to become nocturnal or to not visit the food, so its hard to say[:-]
