Hey all,
Just got back in to hunting this year, and like most things, I am all in or all out. I am hooked, and looking to start making the most positive impacts I can on the herd in my hunting area. My hunting spot woods are literally 80ft deep by 375ft wide, on the edge of a friends 4 acre bean field, it is small but in a premium location. I harvested a 10 point and have a 8 and 9 still alive and numerous smaller bucks. This is in Eaton County.
I want to give the deer in my area the best chance at being healthy and producing large antlers, so here I am getting ready to supplement their feeding. I just received my American Hunter 225# timed tripod feeder, I plan to mix corn and record rack professional and slowly taper down the corn. I am planning on a second free choice feeder, a Banks Outdoors 275# feeder. These will turn my small little plot in to a zoo all winter. I would expect 30-40 deer to be using them on the regular once they adapt.
I was wondering what others who supplemental feed results have been like after implementing it. Not corn but high protein foods. Have you seen the results you were hoping for? Are the deer using it regularly? Do you use it all year except for hunting season? How much feed are using annually? What kind fo feed are you using?
I just want to talk feeders to others who are using them. I hope by hauling 500 pounds of protein out at a time to my little plot will make a substantial difference over time.
