Just bought a feeder the other day. Haven't figured out where I'm putting it but you can bet it will be in plain sight of a tree stand somewhere.
What you do today, you have to sleep with tonight.

Place feeder near trail. Put stand 30 yds to south. Another 30 yds to north.

On the distance I like to walk to my stands: “The first 100 yards is also the last 100 yards.”

In view, but further out would be my choice. Deer walks out 200+ yards and is not nervous because they’re not close to a house and your wind will be even better. Funny thing is most people will move the feeder to about 50 yards and get busted more times than they’ll ever know.

I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Seriously, I'd place mine inside a wooded area and watch trailers to and from. I don't want them to associate the feeder and danger. They will only start using it at night.

Guess that’s why they never kill deer in TX over feeders in the daylight🤦🏼♂️ Don't forget Georgia and South Carolina. Apparently, only Alabama deer go nocturnal at the appearance of a feeder. My feeder is out in the food plot, 10-15 yards from the woodline. I get pics at all hours of the day and night. I personally passed 7 different bucks on my place last season during daylight hours.

Deer will find a feeder wherever you place it. If you're hunting bucks of any maturity, IMHO, you're largely wasting your time hunting over a feeder. Not saying you'll never see a big buck at a feeder in daylight, but not highly likely. We use feeders to feed. Always have. Not to hunt over, and I won't now that it's legal. I will, however, use corn on the ground to stop deer where I'd like them to stop for a shot in thick stuff. IMO and from experience hunting over corn in other states, this is the best use of the new law on baiting. JMHO, YMMV. .

There are exceptions to every rule. Hunting pressure in the area is the primary factor. If you got plenty of land that is not hard pressured, then yeah, you'll see deer and bucks on feeders during the day. I use cameras at our feeders to check what bucks we have. With few exceptions, the mature bucks quit hitting the feeders during daylight once the human activity in the woods increases in Oct/Nov. .
