Feeders and Deer

They just have to get used it. Sometimes it can take a day sometimes months. Not much you can do, it could be a smell it puts off or the type of click it makes, no way to know. We’ve used every type of feeder under the sun, and eventually they get the hang of it. It can help to have corn on the ground directly under it so they learn to associate it with food and that it doesn’t bite, but there’s no hard rule.

We have pictures of ours spinning the feeder blade with their tongue to get more corn out.

Sheeeit no. They are pounding my feeders.

Same here. Guess the drought dried up all the hood browse. They are pounding the corn.

Just wish the damn pigs would go elsewhere.

Just be glad you don't have bears. I'd trade in a heartbeat.

I was asking bc I had this problem. A few places where I have feeders are tight fire break lanes. The motor on high slings corn all into the woods and away from cameras. I adjusted the speed down to medium and it keeps the corn in the lane.

I’ve never had success with spin cast feeders…nor have any of my friends that deer hunt

I had gravity but the damn hogs and coons just shake the damn feeder empty in no time. I just put the spin cast back on to test it out. If I don't get as much activity, I may go back to the gravity.

I put a new motor on mine with a guard and they were wary of the new look of the motor and guard. They finally got over it once the corn piled up under the feeder and the does couldn't resist.

Still got a couple bucks that won't go near it and just walk by.

You know the name of the feed store. Can’t find them anywhere online. Appreciate the information
