[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 3939169, member: 14646"] While not new to deer hunting this was my first year on our new 45 acre property. The reality is we only have about 20-25, maybe 30 acres for actual hunting as our homes are on the front 35% of the property. I run three Fieldpro feeders on mine. The large food plot is the most isolated and had a ton of deer come to it that is sitting over about <1 acres of Buck Forage Oats. One real nice thing is this foodplot and feeder is right next to some very thick and heavy brush that has a ton of game trails running through it. This thick area is approx 8-10 acres. I shot one of the three shooter bucks on this plot this rifle season. We had a metric crap ton of spikes, forks and does with fawn on this plot. I was exceptionally happy this being my first year developing a plot and having the feeder on it. My second food plot and feeder is only about 140 yards off our main house back-deck and also pulls in a ton of deer. Sits about 250-300 yards from the first feeder. This plot was carved out of a pasture that is close to where more trees and brush start on our property. Shooter bucks, spikes, forks and does/fawns. Mostly the same one you see earlier or later in the evening from aforementioned plot. THey will travel back and forth. THe third feeder is not about 150 yards off another side of my house in some brush hogged area that is at the head of a draw. It is fairly productive attracting deer but didn't hunt it this season. Probably will move this feeder to another spot next year that I've seen a lot of deer travel and sort of inbetween the first two feeders. My Father in Law who's hunted for the last 60 years on his 1000 acre lease had 3-4 food plots but never put feeders on them. He'd stick them in lighter brush/treed travel corridors and they attracted a lot of deer. We shot a lot of deer this way too. As much deer as I saw and how small my hunting land is I feel I'm pulling in deer from all around due to my three feeders and how well the BFO and Winter Wheat did. My neighbor who runs 100 head of cattle on his property and has been finishing them since September has told me he's seen many many deer go across the back of his pastures, hop the fence onto my property.
