So how often is acceptable to most to fill a feeder and check a camera? I have six feeders on our lease. 3 with timers with solar 2 gravity and 1 trough. They are “strategically” placed in fields, thickets and open woods as far from the stand as possible yet still easily accessible by atv. We fill them and check camera every 4-5 weeks year round in hopes of getting the deer in a routine of seeing or hearing us at them. Does it work? I dunno but i enjoy doing it and we usually have deer at them at some point day and night year round. Now a feeder isn’t a guarantee we will see a deer while hunting but I don’t think it hurts our chances. Sometimes we see 10 sometime nothing. Too many variables to pin point the reason why some deer come regularly and some only come on Tuesday night. So far the only thing I’ve learned is that our deer don’t like rice bran.
