Check the corn that's in the feeder. You could have bugs in your corn. Also check the corn before you put it in the feeder. I've seen whole bags of corn basically ruined by bugs. They'll get in there and then eat the center out of all the kernals. The kernals will have little holes in them.

Try not feeding them. Feeders should be used for livestock or are your deer livestock?

What is wrong with pumping up the deers nutrition? If he has no HIGH FENCES than the deer are free to roam and feed where they want. I will be pulliny my feeders out of the woods in late august.

Don't worry about it, Gene. A little while ago there was a baiting issue thread that got pretty out of line, too. I use feeders, and I know what you're saying. It's not like somebody on here can change the way you hunt. As for the question, I really don't know, I haven't had that problem. Good luck man!
