Does anybody just feed in the mornings due to nocturnal hogs and deer ? Does it work ? Does it affect afternoon hunts ?

I've found that deer feed when they wish to. I've seen them standing there waiting for the feeder to go off and then I've had them walking by when the feeder went off and not even bother to stop. If they have gone nocturnal the corn will just lay there all day until they show up at night. Now if the deer still show up early then only feed enough for the deer and if there is none left the hogs won't have any to show up for.



I work hard, drink a little and hunt when I can.

If you do not feed the noctournal deer, someone else will. They have to show up sometime during the day. That BIG BOY will mess up...and when he does...whack him.

I would stick to the morning and evening feeds. I have both deer and hogs and want both coming. It seems that I have deer coming in the morning and hogs in the evening of corse on my deer cam I have both coming at night. Just feed both times and kill both. Works better for sausage anyways



If I put my wife in a high fence will her rack get bigger?

We feed at 7am and 8:15am. Again at 4pm and 5:15pm. My event time shows that most of the deer between 6am and 9am and from 5pm to around 8pm.

Don't forget that corn is just a small piece to a deer's diet......it is just an attractant.......
Open the gut sack and you will notice it isn't full of corn....but grasses........
they will show up if they want to......all a matter of timing......
the attractant is just a stopping point for you to be able to judge whether you want to harvest the animal or not...



Spend time with the ones you love. Time is not guaranteed.
