From the moment it hits 6:00 pm till 30 min before sunrise. I have movement at my feeder CONSTANTLY.. no more than 20 minutes and deer appear.. They are eating ALL night long, and the only one that has come out in the day was a yearling doe yesterday. Nothing today.. I have a few shooter 8's.. the biggest chooses 7:00pm to 12:00 am.. and chooses a 2:00 am slot every other day.. the other comes in for 10 minutes MAX at 4:30-4:45 EVERY night.. The mature does.. are from 8:00 pm til 3:00am.. What in the world should I do besides wait. I have thrown the buck bombs, I have used red neck feed strategies (Hen Scratch) and I have used doe urine on drag rags and my boots hoping that walking out there my entice them to check the new doe out since 3 bucks (1 shooter (MONSTER) ) want to hang out together.. I guess I could go hunt my other feeder thats about 50 yards in the deep of the woods instead of the field which they hit at night? Any suggestions other than hunt it and they will have to get hungry during the day sometime in the near future? Thanks guys and HAPPY THANKSGIVING! laugh

What about not hunting the feeders maybe find some good trails in the woods and just sit and see what happens.Just a thought. Good luck tho.

I feel your pain, we looked at almost 300 pictures from last Friday - Monday morning and only about 5% were daylight pictures at a single feeder. We managed to get the kids a doe each but nothing with horns moved very much.

Are you sure you aren't hunting my place in Young County? It's been like that for me too. My trails are like that too.

Try hand corning all along the edge of woods the day before you plan to hunt. I wouldn't put out anymore scents or bombs . Lots of deer get feeder shy during daylight but will come to hand corning . Also, turn off the feeder in woods for a week or so and see if they come out in the field edge for you. Good luck.

Buy a popup and find a funnel. Worked for me this season. I had the same thing going on and found a pinch point about 600 yards away from the stand and feeder. They were working from the bedding area to the feeder so I figured I'd set up in an area where they were moving across. Might not have that on your place but it's a thought.

Positive thinking may not solve all your problems but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

I have 2 shooting lanes at my stand!!! I have a feeder on one and hand corn the other and noticed the bucks prefer the corned lane best!!!

Apples. I had a problem with not seeing any deer at my feeder but when I would hunt my stand I would watch them cross trails 30ft away. Never once even looked at the feeder. Then I started putting a bag of apples out every day I was hunting. I cut them up first so the scent carried more. First week I got 5 deer on my camera all day long every day. Hunted that next weekend and had those same deer walking all around me. Today I'll put my newly designed feeder up and see how it works tomorrow. I plan on doing some killing this weekend
