Now deer usually approach any feeding situation with caution and check it over before committing and letting their guard down some to eat. Bucks very well may choose to eat somewhere other than the main food sources because the concentration of deer on those places may be drawing in coyotes or humans as well. He may seeknoit a secondary feeding spot where few other deer are using and free of predator scent.....If you want to use a feeder to kill a buck then don't just set it up and watch for him to come to it. Instead....find a location that gives you a strategic advantage over him and use the feeder to draw him by you on his way to it. Get it at least 100 yards or so away from you just depending on the habitat..... The buck is gonna stop a certain distance out from it and he's gonna sit there and check things out for a minute or twenty..... he's also likely to circle and approach it from downwind or stand around until the wind shifts to him.....You want to try and identify where you think he'll hold up to check it over and set up somewhere around that spot and farther away......
