Feeders work but don' t expect the big bucks to come in during daylight , they usually only come to feeders at night. Does and smaller bucks are what I normally see during daylight at my feeders. There is a good design for a feeder hanger in this years fl. hunting regulation handbook. I use basically the same design at three of my feeders and the hogs haven' t torn them down yet. If you don' t want hogs or bears then try putting out soy beens as deer love them but bears and hogs don' t care for them as much.
