You have your feeder set-up on a decent canyon slope or some sort of decline? If your deer activity isn't as good as you'd like I'd suggest moving it to a flat area. We had some feeders on my in-laws place that were on a incline coming from a big draws and never did see good deer activity. Moved them to a big limestone flat 80 yards from the canyon and made heck of a difference

Both of you guys need to know that my feeder is set up on a flat a piece of land as humanly possible...The CAMERA is crooked because the bush it's attached to does not have a vertical limb available. Believe me..IT'S ALL GOOD!!

Nice.....

That's cool to see. I hunt a lot in Val Verde county also and just 4 to 5 miles up the road I have been seeing a hole bunch of axis lately. The hogs moved in over the summer- went from seeing zero to 100. Occasionally we have some elk come through but they wander so much I rarely see them.
