If your dog is barking at the back door and your wife is yelling at the front door, who do you let in first? The dog of course. He'll shut up once you let him in.

if you can afford it, for sure. there are plenty of threads on here regarding when and what to feed, just dig a little.
good luck
If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

We feed ours all year and they are use to it. We feed about 30-45 bags of protein a year.

We feed corn year-round, but the deer numbers showing up drop way off when things start greening up. This of course is in a clearcut where everything growing is down at their level.

Yeah Gage will be hunting on my lease. His spot is along our fence line and I've hunted there before and know he will do well if he just keeps his efforts up. A lot of people think it's all fun and games til they realize the work that some hunters put in to put the meat on the table. Gage if I were you I would say follow my lead man. Feed corn all year, put out some Throw & Gro and No Plow and put out a couple of Trophy Rocks. If Bubba doesn't get on or use my old game camera then you can use it. I don't mind. Anyway, the thing about feeding all year is that when the acorns start dropping the number of deer around your feeders will drop too. Then once the acorns are scarce they will pop back up to your spot. It can be somewhat swayed though by keeping the proper stuff out and having it readily available to the wildlife.
