RE: Hunting 20 yards off my feeder
I remember that one, his trial camera took a picture just as the arrow hit the buck. Is that the one you are referencing?
Interesting article on baiting in the latest D&DH. You'd think it was easier to kill them over bait, wouldn't ya? Study in SC last year says WAY different.
Food for thought (no pun intended).

RE: Hunting 20 yards off my feeder
I have always heard older hunters say that by feeding with feeders, or using food plots, the deer develope FBS, Full Belly Syndrome. They fill up in one spot and go lay up till its time to eat again, which more than likely is at night. But if they have to get out and hustle for browse or acorns they are more apt to move during the day because food is scattered.

Now I'll admit.....if your feeder is broadcasting over a large area.....they might browse through the feed at a slower pace. But from what I've witnessed, first-hand.....they don't stay at them for extended periods of time.
That's just been MY experience with feeders and deer. Results may vary.
