[QUOTE="OKRuss, post: 3766088, member: 41777"] Agree 100%. Had a biologist state some stats similar to this "On average, a deer can eat anywhere from [B]6 to 8% of its body weight[/B] every day. That means that a 150-pound deer can eat up to 12 pounds of food per day!". If a spin feeder throws 5 seconds in the morning and 5 seconds in the evening, it's only dispersing about 2 1/2 lbs of feed. Even double that time and only 5 lbs a day - so definitely just a "treat" and something to lure them in. Pat Lefemine owns Bowsite.com and here's a link that shows his soybean field in Ohio. He doesn't harvest it - just for deer. I want to think it's a 10-12 acres plot.
