I don't feed year round,my neighbor takes care of that.I do run a few spinners to get some pics before season. For actual hunting I am with JWalker. I have a 300 yard long 40-50 foot wide lane through 6 year old planted pines and last year during season I would run down it on the Polaris with the spreader flinging corn a couple times a week.Actually did not have to put out a lot cause they had to look for it, but I have never ever seen as many deer on my place as that lane last year.I had never really used corn prior to last year mainly because I just did not want the hassle of worrying about the man, but I am a true believer now in the power of the golden nugget.

Ive used my atv spreader in my back yard I call it chummin em up and it does. Going to try it at the lease this season.

I like 55 gallon drums and spinners ..

Gravity in the summer and spinners in the fall

Both. Protein in the gravity feeders and corn in the spinners. Start the protein early spring and stop around October. Corn in the spinners year round. Protein can be pellets or natural (think roasted soybeans). Cottonseed is like steroids for antler growth but it requires a special feeder that is neither gravity nor spin feeder. All of this in conjunction with year round food plots. Of course a feral hog infestation will destroy all of this.

I would rather run spin feeders and save some money on feed but I have yet to find one that will last through 2 seasons. I'll just keep on over feeding them with gravity feeders.

It may not be roasted but it is for sure whole soy beans. This is St. Elmo feed and seed where I get mine.

Judge feeders

Gravity feeders are cheap to build/buy and they're easy to implement. The only barrier to entry is laziness or procrastination. Bag feeders that strap to trees are cheap, only $20 and they hold 80lbs +. PVC feeders are a few more bucks but they're indestructible, whereas the bag feeders can be chewed through by raccoon or squirrel. Spinning feeders require equipment to get them setup and to refill. If there's a tree nearby or you can hammer a T-post in the ground, then a gravity feeder will fit the bill.

The camo on these PVC 4" sewer pipe feeders was made using a Primary Arms Multiterrain stencil and they hold 35 lbs of feed.

I have both but the problem with gravity is that you always have a couple deer that just hang out at the feeder and eat. All the time. And most of the time they are a cull buck or a stupid doe. And you have 10,000 pictures of their dumbarse to go through every single time you pull a camera card and on picture #4003 there is a good buck.

Not a serious problem but less of an issue with spinners in my experience.

Gravity if you have hogs.
