Near as I can tell it's right around 135 corn and protein. Different leases do different things and have different ratios of corn to protein feeders. Some use the Bossbuck convertible feeders so it depends what day you are talking about. Probably about 55,000 acres mas o menos a thousand or so. I can't remember the acerage, just where the feeders are.

Five 55 gal. feeders this year. I don't even put them up till 3 weeks before season starts, and come opening morning I see just as many or more deer than the guys on our place who start feeding in August. It cost too damn much to feed for half a year, and I only have to go down once before season to get things going.

I personally have 12 corn feeders of my own. This year, I've taken on two more for a buddy who's down in his back. Collectively, we also maintain 9 half-ton protein feeders, too.

My nephew and I have 3. One holds 400#, one is 55 gallon, another is 40 gallon. I'm cranking the big one way up this weekend. That should have the big boys in there pretty thick by the time rifle season starts.
