The deer killed our food plots all season. I have never seen deer feed on them like they have this year, not even on other clubs. We have pictures almost every night and all times of the day. they done mine the same . mine got a jump on the deer a little after i put on the nitrogen . i hit it just right with the slow steady rain .

We don't hunt over it, or anywhere near it. All trough feeders in places you can't really hunt around. I know it sure does help keep deer in an area,and gives them something to eat when everything else is dead or browsed to death.
I get more daylight pictures of deer eating corn than I do night pictures, but all of our trough feeders are in thick places that a rabbit wouldn't want to walk in.

WE need to stop baiting (feeding) the deer, quit shooting does, ban atv's from public land, quit using antler restrictions on public lands, and have the state to pay a bounty for each coyote killed.

Wow! Like M. C. Hammer used to say: Can't Touch This! There are a couple there I actually agree with.

My main reason for starting the thread was to see if anyone was pouring corn out and hunting over it. I had only one person pm me with their results on hunting directly over it. I don't know how I really feel about the feeding issue, but I do know it needs to either be legal or illegal-No stipulations with it.

MOST of us are going to keep feeding corn year round regardless of what others think. BUT I would like to see the grey area in this law removed. 1 GW in 1 county lets you do 1 thing and another in another county gives you a ticket? The officers discretion is the ONLY problem with the 100 yards law.

I have one small tract that I can only bow hunt. It's mostly pines with a few scattered oaks of various types. We run 2 feeders on the property to help hold deer and to help pull some through the area. There just isn't an option to plant due to the landowner. This year we had zero acorns. I would say that if I were sitting right over it this year; I could almost guarantee myself a shot 7 out of 10 hunts but we don't hunt directly over it. We have lots of daytime pics to prove that as well. This isn't true every year but it would be this year. I will say in the past when we did hunt closer to the feeders; most evenings you could count on at least having a chance and with a bow; it didn't seem to bother them for the next evening either. Now we have taken time to learn where they bed and we have a half dozens stands set so that we can hunt the right winds. On a smaller property like we are hunting; I really don't know that even with the 100yds it's a whole lot different. If you can take time to learn them; you can pretty much figure out the routes they are taking to get to the feeders. On a larger priority it may be much different. On another lease I'm in we have 2000 acres with 2 feeders randomly placed. They provide some food for the deer but I can't tell that that area has any more deer traffic than the rest of the club. They do not get hunted over though.
