Thanks Ridge Runner ;

I have not been on here very long - thanks for the heads up - I was wondering why he decided just out of nowhere to start attacking me...Like I said in the Bucks of Tecomate thread - anyone and everyone can plainly see and read where I told him to - Move On - several different times ..but he just kept on and on..so I gave him some attention he so desperately desired..now he is pissed...kinda backwards if ya ask me..
No loss of sleep here...Your opinion and my opinion may differ in other areas of hunting - but you dont start chasing people from one thread to another with a raft of crap - over and over..

That's easy, whichever one you pick will be the wrong one, but that's hunting.

To address the original post a bit more, there is no substitute for scouting and knowing what's going on where you hunt. The guys I know who use a feeder do it to try to increase traffic on their property, which is between a lot of larger tracts some of which have food plots/feeders. Did it do that? I'm not sure they have more deer than they would anyway, but it did attract bear and hogs. There is no bear season and the hogs will now be a problem they can't deal with on a regular basis.

We use a small feeder on property where we hunt hogs only. Again, I've heard stories of the little piggies learning when the feeder spins and rushing to it for corn. Maybe on the hog farm, but not in the woods. Will they hit it? Yes, but not every day and not at the same time. So at best it's a way to increase the odds of getting one as they make their loop hitting other food sources.

Very true...when putting out a feeder ...you attract alot of other critters.I use to stalk everything when hunting and had the attitude that if you were sitting in a blind...you were not "hunting"...the older I got and the more places I visited and hunting outside of Texas...the more tolerant of doing things different from the ways I was taught...now I believe the greatest asset for a hunter is a Feeder & Trail camera...

Please dispense with all these disparaging remarks about my integrity, etc. as they're getting old and are also against the rules of this website. Maybe I should notify Christine about those! Thank you for your anticipated cooperation!

This is real good advise. Throw it all over the place so they are grazing instead of gorging. It takes them more time to eat, they like to graze and if you are hunting it gives you time cuse they are moving and turnig a bit. I watch deer eat corn and then walk off and eat grass and clover the same time. Food plots seem to keep deer relaxed. A corn pile can make them weird. I've seen them look at corn and stare at it, just to take a bite and they pace back nd forth for no reason at all. Five minutes later they come back and eat it like nothing happened. I also noticed if ya put 3 or 4 piles of corn 5' apart they will all eat the same pile sometimes till its gone and won'y touch the other piles. Then come back in an hour and eat off all the piles at one time. No reason as far as I copuld ever tell, been seeing it for 25 yrs. ( a pile is about a cup of corn)

I've hunted feeders for years,I have shot some under my feeder because like a food plot or favorite oak tree I keep the scent down around it.Like a food plot after awhile you will find the trails that the deer like to come in on and that's where I set up.Many times big bucks will stage inside the woods and not come out until after dark,that's where you want to be.
For those that don't like to hunt around them,don't,me I hunt for enjoyment and I will.
