Soo... Good post. I have a hanging spin feeder. Last season I bought the permit to hunt around bait. I never had a big buck on film. I had a spike and 6 does with yearlings feed constantly under it,but the only big bucks we're about 200 yards away where I scattered it on the ground. Even then they usually didn't come to it the same day I put it out.
I did have a spin feeder on a tripod leg set. It lasted about a week. Then one night I got a pic of a spike running under it. The next day I found the feeder turned over with one leg broke off..LOL. I think it came on while he was feeding and it spooked him.
I didn't bother putting it back up.
