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. why? I assume its illegal to hunt deer over bait there.

1 facing west and 1 facing north. Don't think it matters to much but that just me... I can see multple directions while in both of them. Both my stand are also playing the wind. very similar one facing west one facing south. I can hunt any wind and not disturb 99% of the deer coming/leaving my hunting location.

I got lucky and the guys that hunt with me built most the stands out there, so I only had to make one.....
So I made it ...um.. HUGE.. lol
It will have 3 feed pens, each about 36 feet across.. and a creek on the other side.

Hunting is easy..it's getting permission from your wife that is tough.

I assume its illegal to hunt deer over bait there. They have giant feeders in Nebraska. They are called corn fields.

I have two feeders on my box blind. I'm at the corner of two pipeline right-of-way clearings, about 50 yards from a light traffic dirt road. Timber and oil trucks are through all the time, so the deer don't care or notice my pickup driving in on the road. I'm close to the road because I don't walk that well.
One feeder is down the hill, on a flat near an almost all weather creek. It's about 75 yards due west. I can see well beyond that feeder as the pipeline goes up the opposite hill. I could shoot up to 300 yards there and be well below the crest of the hill. The amount of traffic as deer moved north and south through the woods is amazing! Early morning sun puts a spotlight on the far hill, while I'm still hidden in shadow. The second feeder is north, about 100 yards also in a slight draw. I have a ladder tree stand there, about 30 yards away in the edge of the woods on the east side of the clearing.
