Deer hav to be raised on spinners usually unless u got a mighty tame strand of deer. Hunting for years in FL and arky that is basically what those guys said and what i hav seen - but not all deer the same. They can be conditioned to gravity and i do gravity and ground. So expensive i got to go to spinners
Hunt the wind - leave it better than you found it - love your neighbor as you love your self

I put on ground and feeder to help get them used to it
Put cameras in road to see if u only ones hunting it. If you are only giving it a week - thats not long. When deer are there - will they see u leave? If so u prob need to give it 3 weeks
I like it when mine get 3-4 weeks. Buck field gettin close to that now and last 2 times i hunted big field they never saw me leave so its like unhunted
Deer always like food on ground bettr - but u prob cant go every 2-3 days to put it out so i do both ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/5X7TjJD.jpeg) ignore the date

That one will end up scared to death of spin feeders too, if that one goes off while he's got his tongue rapped around the metal spin plate.

Run cameras and make sure the neighbors aren't hunting it.

jJUust an update for this area. I ended up hunting it 5 times and never saw a deer. Im going to try and swap everything up from where my stands are and feeding area to see if that helps. After that im just going to cut my losses.

If they are eating off the spin plate they are going to empty that thing fairly quickly. Either raise it up to help ration it or put it on the ground and ditch the feeder.

If you're using a feeder you need to run it year round for the deer to get totally acclimated. Even then the mature deer will rarely show themselves in the daytime.

A. You don't have the day time bedding area or best food source .
B. Your place may just a passing through place that doesn't hold deer.

How many acres? How much hunting around you? I'm guessing around 100 acres and there is another club about a mile from it I scrolled down expecting to find this. Killing anything older than 2.5 on a place like that is just happenstance.

How big is your plot and is there cover around it? Can you get in and out of your stand undetected with deer on the plot? 100 acres can't stand much pressure. I would have cameras out and be feeding on the ground right now. If they are around, they will come.
