[QUOTE="undeg01, post: 3939081, member: 26476"] With the limited cover you have, you would probably be limited to no more than 2-3 feeders. I’d suggest putting one in that open, circular area of trees on the NE corner of that pond. Deer like to have at least a little cover and it amazes me how much they will use a small line of trees like an old fence row, similar to the way that area appears. If you could put a green food plot on the opposite/NW side of the pond, you would likely see the deer travel a little more. Be cautious about how much corn you put out at a time. If you dump a gallon bucket of food every evening just before dark, the deer will know that there will be corn there through the night hours so they have no reason to rush to get a few bites. I run 6 feeders on 80 acres, but they are heavily wooded and two of my main hunting areas have two feeders each. You can see both feeders from one stand location but you cannot see one feeder from the other. I set the timers to compliment one another. One feeder is set closer to the heavy timber/bedding area and throws corn about 20 minutes earlier than the other in the evening and about 10-15 minutes later than the other in the mornings. Each time running no more than 3-4 seconds. [/QUOTE]
