New property to hunt. 100 acre cutover -cut 7 years ago. Built a box stand and put it up in March.
Bit the bullet and purchased a feeder that holds 600 lbs of corn. Put it up in July. Set to feed twice daily. This will keep my trips into property minimal.
Checked camera 3 times since then. Deer still seem spooked all to pieces over feeder after 4 months.
Deer are in this cutover. Great area.
Put 200 lbs of corn scattered on ground on a different shooting lane before cold snap last week.
It is still there.
Gonna change my strategy with hunting the cutover - but my question is....
Will the deer ever get used to the feeder? Or should I pull it and rethink my plan for hunting this property?
