50 yards for both of mine

194 yards. I put the feeder in what I considered the best place and 194 yards was the closest tree for my ladder stand.

In Edwards County 205 on one, 212 on the other...as Rifleman and Pitchfork stated I am up on a ridge and both Pens are down in Bowls and I like to ease in and out..In Young County 135, because I let the Wifey Poo be comfortable with placement..

One blind, two feeders. One feeder set up for rifle and bow. Two bow stands and the rifle stand at 60 yards. We have young folk who the shorter shot is friendly for. The other feeder is at 180 yards. I like it because it's way off of the lease road, no one "goes by and checks on things" and it's still an easy shot from the blind.

66 yards, but I don't normally sit in the stand. Deer get so fixated on the stand, sit opposite of the stand and you will see many more deer. Most times I can barely see the feeder due to the thick brush, but I can see a lot of deer that never make it to the feeder. When I do hunt a stand, it's usually the ladder stand that's 52 yards away but about 15-20 feet back in the woods from the clearing. The blind is just for when I have guest

On my last lease on the Clear Fork, I had 7 stands and 20 feeders. The feeders ranged from 122 to 210 yards. I park as close to the stand as possible to avoid spooking the deer when walking in, never more than 50 yards away.

Ours are at 100 and under, but part of that is because we have very few clearings that are much greater in size.

I am of two minds on distances. First is that being close makes for a more exciting evening of hog hunting. At about 50 yards, I regularly can hear animals crunching on dry corn if the wind isn't rustling the trees too bad. I can often hear the animals coming into the feeder well before I see them. I can hear the chittering of baby raccoons and the talking grunts of hogs.

At 100 yards, I don't hear anything at the feeder unless it is raccoons or hogs fighting.

At 140 yards (neighbor's place I've hunted), you can have a regular conversation with a partially deaf guy and the pigs not hear you at the feeder if the wind isn't blowing toward them.

Bow stands 25 yards, rifle 100 yards.

30-100 this season. Depends on the location

I agree with this usually put a couple of hot does out thar, as Mickey say's the girls get prettier at closen time. so i'm chiitten hete at me favoret blind waiten fot that biggen ta poop out

Current setup is 130 yards blind to feeder with no theory behind it other than it looked to be the best option based on that area.

I have had stands at 200 yards and could not find any advantage over the one a 100 yards. I could see the closer a whole lot better tho!

I would suggest not closer than 50yd. I hunted a few blinds under that distance, and it didnt owrk out

Got one @ 178yrds another at 175yrds and one for pigs at 408yrds for sharpening my long range shots

100 yds on mine now but have ranged from 50 yds to as much at 150 over the years. I drive up to blind dump out my gear then road feed the areas and park close to blind in a hole made in the brush for my UTV.

The main blind I hunt is about 10 yards. It is so close for hunting with the longbow and I am going to start hunting with my 10mm from there too. Normally we put our rifle blinds at the best spot we can find 50 to 120 yards. For compound bow hunting the feeder is 18 yards away. The blind at 10 yards away is hard to not get caught with a lot of scent killer on and quiet clothes. When deer come in and I start breathing heavy I have to work to control so they don't hear hear it.

Mine are anywhere from 125-176, more due to geographical parameters than preference

105 yds from rail to middle of feed pen...... but the buck I shot was 35 yards behind the feeder

50-75 yard, though I like to see them coming in from a much greater distance.

In south Texas, ours are around 7-10 feet. I hunt from a high rack on the truck , and the feeder is attached to the front or rear bumper.

160 to the southeast feeder and 125 to the northwest feeder

Bow blinds/stands are 15-25 yards. My favorite rifle blind I hunt has two feeders, one at 140 and the other at 235. It always amazes me the number of different deer I see at those two.

Average for us is about 100yds. Couple are 90yds, couple are further. Some shots out to 175 but most around 100 or so. I don't like sitting right on top of a feeder unless I'm using a pistol or bow.

We have 3 blinds with feeders. All 90-110. We also have bow blinds built 20 yds from each either in tree or on platforms. We can either rifle hunt or bow/handgun hunt each feeder. We like the 100 yd thing as hogs usually cant hear you if you funble a little. Deer mostly cant but have to be a little more aware
