Oh lawdy - Tred is a pompous schmuk if you ask me.
Man, lemme tell ya, feeders do NOT guarantee a harvest - not even close- When I kept feeders going, I never harvested a deer there - it was always 2 or 3 hundred yards from my feeders where I actually found the deer. I tried hunting the feeder, but saw nothing during the day - they come in there at night only, for the most part, except maybe fawns and really dumb yearling does.
NP Bit.
I was just answering HR's question.
Nice buck btw. lol

The way we used to get deer to our feeder was we sweetened the pot.
We added Buck Grub to the corn.
The morning dew helps it stick to the corn, I suppose.
Anyways, it worked.
I shot mine and 2 hours later, at the same feeder, ATTT got his.
Any powder would do I suppose, depending on what the deer need in thier diet.
The poor guy uphill from us, on the neigboring property, didn't get a shot in while we were there.
I would bet he didn't sweeten his pot either.
If the problem is getting the deer to notice where and when the feeder is going off, add some smaller feed to the corn.
Birdseed or millet should do the trick.
The deer will investigate as to why that spot is so popular with all the birds.
The problem is that cattle and pigs will notice too, and run off any deer.
