If you had 500 acres how many feeders would you have to run to make a difference. As far as holding deer on your property. Or at least making more of them visit your property. Not sure I could ever feed enough to make a difference as far as adding inches to the bucks. Say if you spaced them out in some fashion locating more towards the center of the property vs the edges. And locating them in places where nobody would be hunting any closer than couple hundred yards so you could run them through hunting season. And hat type of feeders would you use. Was thinking of several spin type feeders and setting timer so they would last about 6 weeks or so between refills.

I feed five places on 160 acres and have different deer on every camera and I'm holding them. Better the habitat and food I'm hold deer. I've had bucks on camera for three or four years sometimes.

I can't really answer your question but can give you some related info. For the purposes of a camera census biologists recommend using 1 camera and feeding location for every 100 acres for the best chance at getting a pic of every deer that uses the property. If you need 1 per 100 acres to get their picture, I'd think that would be a good start.

How much and what do you feed on that 160 acres.

Alot,During deer season ill feed corn,sweet feed and persimmon rice bran. During the off season ill feed a type of protein feed and have mineral sites.
