I prefer 6:45 AM, 7:30 AM, 4:00PM and 5:15 PM during hunting season with fairly lite feeding each time. You can also get a remote control to set off your feeder while you are in your stand and feel like you need more feed on the ground. During the off season, the other guys times are good too. Just my personal preferance.

I have mine set at 700 & 1100 am & 430 & 600 to throw 3sec at high. I mix B2B along with strawberry cool aid packets with my corn.

Right now all of our feeders are going off at 7am, 6:45pm and 10pm. In the Fall we will feed at 6:15am, 5pm, and 10pm.

Why 10pm? Whats the reasoning behind that?

7:10am & 5:00pm year around (1 sec Feb-Aug / 3 sec Sept-Jan) ... I sometimes add in another around 7:30am & 5:20pm. I used to have a bit earlier but I hated it spinning and not being able to see what came in other than very faint shadows which dissappeared by day break...

6:55 am, 7:25 am and 6 pm, 3 sec in morn total and 2 sec in evening. My bucks are still mostly nocturnal and they are not eating all the corn I am throwing. Probably shut-off protein feeder opening weekend in an attempt to get them coming to corn on more regular basis at shooting time or at least that is the theory.

I'm convinced the sound of a feeder attracts deer just as much as the corn so I run it on test right before I get in the stand
