Most of my feeders have two stands, tripod and or ground blind, in different wind directions so regardless of what the wind is I always have somewhere to hunt. This is mainly because I bow hunt and wind plays a big issue at 30 yards. I am bowhunting also. Thats why I ask. Then IMO it would be more important to have more than one feeder also. Deer can pattern you better than you pattern them. You have to get into that one location and get out of it every time you hunt. The more trips the more likely you will have to spook a deer. You will leave scent every time in and out no matter how careful you are. The more you hunt that one location the more you leave. Agree on the multiple feeders. I have different combinations but here is some ideas. I normally hunt tripods but have some ground blinds also. For morning hunts I like to have a stand where I am looking west to the feeder. That way deer are looking into the sun towards where I am to the east. Same for afternoon hunts. I like to have a stand where I am looking east for the same reason. Also make sure you are in or on something where they cannot silhouette you. Of course wind is really the key. Most of my bow stands are in a variation of directions facing north,west or east of the feeders due to early season hunting is normally south,south west or south east wind. But you also have to take in account trails as deer come to or leave a food source or bedding. Sometime the planets have to align up almost perfectly to accomplish your hunt when bow hunting. That is why it is pretty important to have multiple stands and feeders when bow hunting. Also bear in mind your scent stays around a pretty long time in the area that you just hunted. It is handy to be able to hunt another area just to let an area chill for a while.

The front of the feeder pen is 138 yards SSW of my box blind.

How does one "hunt" over a feeder?  You play 'Angry birds' on your I phone while sipping a cool one.

No no that's cheating... hunting is walking around and accidently crossing paths with an animal.... then hope you hit it..... everything else is wrong... WRONG

If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

How does one "hunt" over a feeder? Same way one would "hunt" over an ag field, watering hole, or any other attractant    From a tall short tree............  No no that's cheating... hunting is walking around and accidently crossing paths with an animal.... then hope you hit it..... everything else is wrong... WRONG My bad Nav, I forgot who I was quoting but the rest of your post I agree with

question, stxranchman:
That buck I was after last year hit my feeder every damn day during the summer. I was out there all the time filling feeders, etc, but it never seemed to bother him. Every day, he hit the feeder 2-3 times.
Why did he completely bolt the one time he smelled me bowseason opener? I'm certain I walked up him at least a couple of times during the summer.
Perplexing. 1. Higher concentration of funk smell. 2. His mama ran him off.

Our preferred direction is South looking North. Prevailing wind for our lease is Southerly. All blinds are 4x6 ground fully enclosed. However, terrain and trees dictate location for each.

Our prevailing winds are north and south. Set our blinds up east and west of feeders so no matter the wind it will be ok.

I have two stands at every feeder: 1 southeast of the feeder and the other Northwest.
Our winds are predominantly Northwest and Southeast so I make a setup for both conditions. This has worked out for me very well in the past.

Feeder set up about 50 yards from my stand location.
But really makes no difference- feeder has to be removed AND no additional feedings minimum of 30 days before site can be hunted.
