I do not use feeders nor is it ethical or safe. CWD is on the spread and the ONLY way it is spread is by muzzle contact and saliva. I am a guide, my living depends on the harvest an my good work. If i can get a jump on things i will however this is pure poison to deer and a 6 lane highway for the spread of CWD don't belive me ck it out. There is very little difference between a game fence and a dinner bell that scatters feed

For the sake of argument this is where I found the information that I got.
http://www.cwd-info.org/index.phpOn the bottom right hand coner of the home page is a brochure that you can look at that gives a lot of information about the disease, for anyone that would like to check it out.

RE: feeders
Tom (Baker Farms),
Your post suggests you are inexperienced as it relates to feeders. If you've huntedNew York your entire life, that would explain your bais toward non-baiting (feeders) as they are illegal there. It's always disappointing to see folks post such a strong opinion when their experiences are limited to half the discussion.
I lived in New Hampshire through my early 20's where baiting is illegal. I too thought feeders were non-sportsman like and made it too easy to summon deer to a specific location ("dinner bell that scatters food"). It's doesn't work like that. I've lived in a baiting legal state for 10 years and I can assure you, the deer do not show-up like clock work. I have more success intercepting a buck on a natural travel route than I do at a feeder. Also, the feeders on our property spread corn in a 15' diameter so deer are not nose to nose.

I hunt in East Texas (Van Zandt Co.). I mix corn and Golden Deer Nuggets. Thye always like corn and the nuggets are 15-16% protein. It is all about the same price. The deer really like the nuggets (it has a berry smell). So it give protein with vitamins and minerals, along with the starch for energy in the corn. Works great for me.

I do not use feeders to much trouble.

Feeders are easy as it gets. I have 3 moultrie feeders (with 30 gallon drums) and they work perfect. I only fill them up 3 or 4 times a year.
Anyways, I fill them with 1/4 protein pellets (they have vitamins in them too) and the rest corn. They love this combo.
