I personally was torn on the issue and have seen instances where it seemed otherwise. We started running gravity feeders this season as it's legal now. Well we have pictures of every mature deer that we have had on camera all season at the feeder and in daylight. I was shocked. Now notice I said mature deer. They aren't studs by any means but they are mature! They don't realize what their rack looks like haha! So my opinion is this..........as hunters we make too many excuses as to why we aren't seeing deer or killing deer. I've heard it's been too cold this year. Well last season it was warm. Or the corn debate. Me personally I've seen two racked bucks on a place with minimal pressure in an area that should be really good. Is it corn? Don't think so I've went seasons before and never saw a racked deer one and we had zero feeders. Some places are hard hunts and my place happens to be on of those. But I'll keep trying!
