[QUOTE="PillsburyDoughboy, post: 4172882, member: 14197"] A strategic plan is all it takes on baiting. It does not take feeding every deer in the county to be seccesuful. As a matter of fact gravity feeding or continuous feeding can be counter productive. Timer feeding and starving them down is more productive, get them on a regular feeding pattern at a specific time and then closer to your hunts starve them off off it a day or two before so when you get to your hunt and the timer goes off its like the red light going off at kRispy Kreame Donuts. There are some other theories on controlled timing that work as well. Bottom line is I would never set up on a feeder. Rather set up on the travel routes that go to and from and the pinch points. I would use them more of a supplement to what I am already doing rather than relying on them as a primary source of hunting. Mostly what you see on TV is western based hunts. Deer do not have hardly any natural resources to feed off of . Look at the desert terrain sometime, it consist of cactus ,scrub oak and sage. They become very dependent on corn for survival. You can ride around in a truck with a feeder and they will practically come right up to the truck and lick it right off the bumper. I have seen them do it with my own eyes.
