RE: Feeder out, but no game
I did the same exact thing and they were gone the next week to. Maybe rotten apples are the way to go!!!

RE: Feeder out, but no game
well guys i have had deer activity at my feeder now for about 2 weeks and had to go and refill it yesterday. i found the salt block i had out was knocked over and it was about half of what it was when i put it out this spring. also the deer had killed all the grass in about a 1-2 yard circle around the feeder.
last year i had constant activity where i had it but it was only one doe and her fawn that came every other day now it is in a bottleneck between two woods where is shot my deer last year and went through 3 bags of corn in 3 weeks where as last year i went through 3 bags of corn in the whole summer. so i think position has alot to do with it as someone previously said

RE: Feeder out, but no game
I recently installed a feeder at my camp. One of the locals near my camp stopped by to tell hunting stories. I asked him if he minded me picking up some of the loose corn that his harvester missed or dropped in his field. He had no problem with this. I stopped down later that day with a burlap bag on the back of my four wheeler. He came out of the barn and handed me a bag of mix he uses as a suplement for his black angus. His comment was: "this will get your new feeder started." Let me tell you, everything in the woods was at the feeder the following week when I went up to camp. The mix he gave me had molasses mixed with oats and a mix of other feed. The sweet smell of molasses lured game in like kids to a cotton candy stand. I purchased a 50# bag at the feed store and spike the feeder when we are at camp. It doesn't take long for the woods to come alive.
