Is it to late to put out a timer feeder or should I replace the head with a gravity feeder? I was told its to late for timer feeder because its loud and will scare Deer. What's everyone's take on the subject?

It will b a getting use to it period
I need to go to timer - but too late for me to start now - May in December
Everybody deer different - my Clarke county deer or just now getting use to gravity feeder good and I hunted here 3 years
Heck - my deer scared of cameras - not all but some - Camden not but lot of my Clarke deer are
If I was going to do it - I would not wait any later - thinking about going to timer in December in the lull but May wait till next year
Hunt the wind - leave it better than you found it - love your neighbor as you love your self We need prayer for our country now more than ever

Timed feeders become a dinner bell when used properly. Only for the hogs in my area. Can't see a deer near them now. Quit running the feeders all together.

I'm going to set the feeder up Friday on timer so the Deer should be used to it by the 15th. What hat do you think?

I gave them all away last month. About 75% of my mature bucks and a good percentage of does wouldn’t have a thing to do with them even after all that time. Several bucks would linger in the background occasionally but never would get remotely close to them. Now that they’re gone I’m getting pics of deer like I should be. They work great on some places. Not so well on others.

^^^^ Exactly
I use to hunt FL and Arky for years - both areas fed corn legally - both areas the hunters said the same thing - ain’t to mature r good buck gone come around electric feeder much - the motor noise gets em
And if u get one hanging around one - U hav a less spooky deer than most
Hard enough to acclimate to gravity

This is the problem with a gravity feeder. This camera will take a pic every three minutes tonight because there wont be three minutes go by that theres not a deer standing there eating corn. I do get a few daylight pics every day. But all night theyre standing there eating corn. Does that mean its making them nocturnal? No, it dont. If theyre not standing at that feeder all night, theyll be milling around that 10 acre field eating something. But as long as theres corn there, therell be deer there eating it. Right now theyre eating about 225lb/week but itll go quicker the colder it gets. I would like to cut it down to 20-25lb/day. I cant do that if its readily available. Awesome picture and my plan is to have timer go off around 7:30am and 4pm.
