It's better to be judged by 12, than to be carried by 6!!!

I prefer 6:45 AM, 7:30 AM, 4:00PM and 5:15 PM during hunting season with fairly lite feeding each time. You can also get a remote control to set off your feeder while you are in your stand and feel like you need more feed on the ground. During the off season, the other guys times are good too. Just my personal preferance.

Right now all of our feeders are going off at 7am, 6:45pm and 10pm. In the Fall we will feed at 6:15am, 5pm, and 10pm.

7:10am & 5:00pm year around (1 sec Feb-Aug / 3 sec Sept-Jan) ... I sometimes add in another around 7:30am & 5:20pm. I used to have a bit earlier but I hated it spinning and not being able to see what came in other than very faint shadows which dissappeared by day break...

6:55 am, 7:25 am and 6 pm, 3 sec in morn total and 2 sec in evening. My bucks are still mostly nocturnal and they are not eating all the corn I am throwing. Probably shut-off protein feeder opening weekend in an attempt to get them coming to corn on more regular basis at shooting time or at least that is the theory.

I'd ask him if he's pregnant. He missed a s__tload of periods. I'll take "things that look like a uterus" for $200 Alex.

I'm convinced the sound of a feeder attracts deer just as much as the corn so I run it on test right before I get in the stand
