I think it's kept more small bucks from being killed by the neighbors.
Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

we established 2 sanctuaries in the core areas of our property and feed year round in them. We are seeing usage at all times of the day from multiple deer. During the rut last year, we had multiple bucks using that area as the does had congregated in those areas.
Overall, we are not feeding to increase sightings but to ensure our deer have high quality food to maintain their health, but as a result of this, yes we are seeing more deer using these sanctuaries as their core area.
It is what it is.
Inspect what you Expect.

I’m feeding to attract more deer to my property but Hunting well within the confines of the law.
The closest stand we have to a feeder is a shooting house on a foodplot that faces the other direction. The stand is roughly 250 yards away from the feeder.
We have a bachelor group of young bucks that hit that feeder 24/7. It’s a trough style and they can eat 150lbs every 7 days. The oldest buck in the group is 3.5 and he routinely hits it during the daytime. With that being said those bucks spend just as much time in the foodplot as they do the feeder. One hung out in the field over an hour and a half Saturday evening.

[x]"to ensure our deer have high quality food "[x]
If it is corn it is not a high quality food.
It it is protein pellets or soybeans then it is a high quality food.

Corn is better than pine needles. Quit trying to stir something up, lol.

It it is protein pellets or soybeans then it is a high quality food. I agree with what you are saying: Protein in the summer and corn/protein in the winter. They need to carbs from corn to build back after the rut. Thought about trying peanuts. Anyone have any experience?

Beyond a hundred yards and not within line of sight....Has supplemental feeding during the season made a significant difference in your rate of success or increased your sightings? just have to practice shooting at 101 yards more often
