Nice edit of your original post once you were called out for stealing someone elses hunting equipment.

Feeding year round is a GREAT idea if you can do it financially and logistically. We try to have corn out at our place year round and go from 3 seconds to 5 seconds during the season. We have a protein feeder that the deer haven't really seemed to interested in. I think the fenced pen is too small and will expand it this Spring. Its a benefit to us because we have quail turkey and hogs so we hunt year round when we can.
It's expensive, but its basically my only hobby and I like taking my kids out there and seeing my friends out there also.

No son you just can't read that well or spell. I edited it because I hit the wrong letter causing a spelling mistake which I fixed so I wouldn't look like an idiot who can't spell. Again you are assuming I stole it, you know what happens when you assume? You make an azz of you and me, but mostly YOU. I can absolutely promise you my hands never touched his tripod, but somebody elses must have . What is it so hard to understand that? It was there and the next day it was gone .
Ooops I had to edit this one too!

If it makes you feel any better since your so worried about it heres what happened. Our block of ranches 5,000 acres is in a subdivision. Which is broke down to sizes between 160-700 acre tracts. We have rules and regulations that are set up for ALL landowners. One of them is that no blinds or feeders are allowed within 150 feet of the property lines. This fellas was a whopping 15 feet and therefore after turning in the illegal tripod it was confiscated. Make you feel any better? Ahh I don't really care what you think.

confiscated huh, not possible without a court order, so your saying the ranch association stole it.

Nope, against rules and regulations. No court order needed but all I know is someone (not me, I never touched it) took it. Guess what? His new stand is where it belongs, off the fence line. Just gotta follow the rules and regulations fellas. If you speed, you get a ticket. If you put your blinds & feeders in a regulated subdivision then they will get confiscated, it's all in the bylaws.

rules are not law, theres procedures, even the police cant confiscate property like that.

This entire post was a waste of bandwidth, some people apparently have nothing better to do. Stop feeding the troll!

Its not agaist the law for the man to put his stand on his side of the fence, even if its 1 foot.

It is against the law for you to go steal it. Did I meantion I hate thieves?

I know your frusterated but the deer he kills are on his land stooting from his stand under his feeder...there is nothing you can do

Goodness u guys are full grown men arguing like high school girls. I just started to feed year around I feed record rack protien late Feb through Sept. And corn all year around. It seems to increase the wildlife activity a lot out here. All kinds of animals deer,turkey, pigs,red foxes,bobcat, big foot.....lol. we thought all we had were deer

Thats pretty much all you get on here, a bunch of grown men arguing over stupid crap. At first I thought this was a pretty neat forum, but nearly all the threads turn into an argument or someone bashing someone else.

Feeding year around is a great thing but dosnt have to be all protein....protein needs to be fed starting in the spring and stoped right when they shed velvet...anyother time its just another food source...things like food plots can be a great thing to help feed a large number of deer during the spring and winter....also controled burns are a very low cost tool to keep deer browse at a maximum...if your set up to burn that is...keeping as many accorn or other mass producing trees as possible can help with the feed bill as well

^^^^this x100 keep plenty if not all protein feeders in areas with little pressure....this is the key to gettin those mature deer to come to protein

I know right I'm 23 a rookie hunter. I came on here for advice and barely get it instead stuck up hunters just dogging people or down talking to me cus apparently I ask stupid questions. ..Rookie hunter.. but very rarely do I get great advice from very nice people. Just weave through all the cry babys and show boaters and know it Alls. And it still a great forum

If i could afford it i would feed year around also...also where i hunt if it was legal to feed i would but we have to hunt the old fashion way to find tracks and trails from bedding to small grass and acorns the deer are eating at the time if there is any due to the drought and hunt the trailes.

Thanks to all that responded. It looks like we will look into feeding maybe year round for next year. I can see where it would get expensive though.

I hunt on a small 100 acre tract and feed year round. My neighbor does not. He benefits from me doing this but doesn't bother me at all. I know that with the size of my lease that there aren't any deer that just stay on my lease. By feeding year round, however, it still benefits me a great deal cause the deer traffic has really increased each year. It does tend to get expensive but if you can afford it, I highly recommend doing it. You will see better results regardless of what your neighbors are doing.

I meant to say 100 acre tract...lol

Thats do you do to feed year around? corn? protien? food plots? How much of your land is wooded? any water sources? Just wondering my parents land is 64 acres and im thinking of doing the same thing feeding year around

Set one or two protein feeders on your place and keep them goin from spring to fall...planting a good food plot if possible can make up alot of ground during the winter...check the mineral levels in your area and if its low set up a mineral spot somewere...theres alot of things you can do...your never gona truely manage the whole herd on 64 acres but you can help greatly...i do what i can with my 40 acre place...keepin the deer fed will help you the most and one of the big things that help my place is i only bow hunt it..you will be amazed how many deer will move onto your place durring rifle season if you keep stress levels low

I feed corn year round. I have just started mixing 50/50 with the Purina Wildlife Corn Replacer and do this for a year. Will see how this works. 85% of this is heavily wooded with the river (dry right now) at the back of property. I have one pond in front part of the lease that still has quite a bit of water in it.

Chad, We feed year round on 2000 acres with 6 protien feeders, 1000 lbs each and it cost about $200.00 a month for each feeder. we hunt in Menard, and the feed store fills ours up every month. PM me if you need some info on where we get the feed from.

I feed year around. Here is how I do it. I use an 800 lb timed Lamco protein feeder. I can mix whatever I want in this feeder. Right now I am running a 50/50 corn & protein mix. For me it came down to what I can afford. I cannot afford to feed free choice protein all year so I went the route of timed feedings to attract exotics such as Axis, Sika, and simply keep the deer around. If you are simply trying to attract deer vs. grow your deer this can be an option. It takes me 16 bags to fill this feeder (approx. $210) and I can stretch it 12-15 weeks to cut down my trips to the lease if needed. Listed below is a pic of my setup.
