[QUOTE="undeg01, post: 3190193, member: 26476"] This is almost exactly what I do. Additionally, if you have a field or a concentration area where you almost always see deer, I will put the feeder in a staging area. Deer, especially bucks, have an area that they check out the situation and other deer before strolling out onto a field. If you can find that staging area, it’s a prime spot for stands and to place a feeder nearby. I see a lot of feeders sitting in open fields, which may be good for feeding doe, but I find it more productive to stay in a semi-open area somewhere along the field edge, just inside of cover. Also, I hate road hunters, so I try to place feeders where they are not visible from the road, but also pull deer deeper into the property, away from roads. Lastly, don’t just throw a feeder out and expect to be successful. Before placing your feeder, either set your stands or make a mental note of where you will set your stands. I have at least 2-3 stands around each feeder for varying wind directions, so I want my feeder either in sight of all, or at least close enough I can sit over a main trail leading to the feeder.
