For those of you who feed via broadcasting (don't put food on the ground or in a trough)... what is your strategy and does it change during the season?
For the regular part of the season, we typically broadcast twice a day - once at 7 AM and another at 4:30 PM. However, once the rut hits we feed at 5:30 AM, 7 AM, Noon, 3 PM, and 4:30 PM. The idea behind 5:30 is that hopefully we keep most does in the area at the feeder around daylight rather than randomly scattered throughout the woods. The increased feeding times are to enhance the possibility that does with a buck will come to the feeder during the day - as we've often seen does visiting food plots during non-typical feeding times when being serviced by a buck (11 AM, 1 AM, etc.). I've been reminded of all of this with the cold coming. We have zero acorns this year and food in the woods is scarce on our properties... so we increased the amount of feed we're broadcasting over the next week. Would be interested to hear from others on the subject.

Nope feed right around daylight for 17 seconds and a few minutes after 4 same time. My does normally aren’t far away then.
Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!
