We feed deer from the day after rifle season until the snow melt. We go through about 20 lbs of corn a day (about a 5 gallon bucket full) We very rarely will have a buck come to the feeder. We are lucky to see 1 buck ever other year. Our feeder is 30 yards from the house. Its just a metal trashcan with a hole at the bottom. Kevin
We've got 5 deer in the herd that beds on our property, plus a couple of loners that come by at different times of the day. They all like to keep my weeping cherries trimmed for me, and certain patches of the lawn. They always walk thru the lawn and/or around the pond in their travels.
Thosen are some fine photos of "possible table feed". I think I would be tempted to stick one this year.
Next summer we head north again and out comes the bow with those pointy sharp sticks.
Going shopping for poblanos, jalapenos, tomatillos, and pork butt, we ran across this albino doe. She was over 200 yards from the road but I held my smart phone's camera lens against the right eye piece of an old pair of Bushnell 10x50 binoculars. As I held the binos and phone my wife reached across and zoomed the phone and hit the shutter.
