Did you adjust your feeder clock for the time change?

If so what are your new AM/PM throw times?

I didn't change my feeder clock and my throw times are 7:30am and 5pm.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that had this recent discussion.

Mine are set to go 20 minutes before sunrise and 1 hour 15 minutes before sunset.

What time is 20 minutes before sunrise?

In the morning I have mine go off at sunrise, then an hour later. Again an hour or so before sunset.

I'm curious, I wasn't able to change my feeders. Will there be any effect or will they still go off at the correct time?

645 & 845 in the mornings & 500 in the evenings. I have two throws in the mornings because sometimes I go hunt after I take my daughter to school and if the deer have cleaned up the first throw of corn I want some more there for them if they come by for a late snack...

the clocks don't know anything about daylight savings etc...so I don't think they will throw at the wrong time...lol...

It changes everyday.

I have two feeders...one to the west and one to the north...and I have both throwing twice in the am and twice in the pm

I think I'm getting some sarcastic comments

The sunrise/sunset is different everyday. So what I set this week is going to be different next week but will still use 20 minutes before sunrise as my time I want the feeder to feed. I used to use a timer that adjusted the sunrise/sunset daily on its own. All I did was preset the minutes before sunrise or sunset or after. Those minutues never changed. The timer was a geo timer manufactured in Austin Texas.

Ok thanks. I may end up adjusting mine a bit, but for now she'll do.

Last couple years we have been starting the season out at 6;45 in the morning and mid to late season bumping it to 7:00 as it gets light later.

Pretty much always set the afternoon feeding for 4:30. We also throw an old paint can of feed by hand in a few areas every hunt.

My sunrise tomorrow is 6:48 and sunset is 5:41. My feeders go off in the morning at 6:20 and 5:30 in the evening(set a week ago yesterday). So in the next few days I will adjust them 5-7 minutes more or less. Deer move very early in the morning or late here in the afternoons unless the temps are really cold. On other places they move differently that I have hunted.

7 a.m & 5 p.m. I leave the clock on C.S.T. year round.

I like 7:15-7:20 and 4:45. Never understood why you want your feeder to go off before you are able to shoot.

December 20 or 21 is the day with the fewest hours of sunlight annually. I set my feeders to go off at legal shooting time on that morning and about an hour before end of legal shooting time in the evening. Has worked for me. I might throw in some midday spins but usually prefer to hand chum.

7 am and 4:45 pm

To have the deer there and at ease feeding before the sun comes up. I do 6:45 and 7 then 5p.m.

7 and 4 or 4:08 or 4:15 to keep the guys guessing if it will go off. We are north Texas so 5 would be way too late in Dec. Sat morning was the first time for me to actually see a mature buck jump the pen and eat during daylight hours though on our place! Now in S. Tex they don't care and eat corn anywhere I find.

You have to remember where you are at in the state vs where others are at. I was sitting in a deer stand one evening in La Salle County when the owner called me to see how the hunt went that afternoon. I answered in a whispering voice and he asked if I was still hunting. I said yes for about 10-15 more minutes. He lived Southeast of Houston and said it was already dark. I hunt Mule Deer in West Texas and it gets daylight or dark differently that much farther west than it does for me here. I have to adjust when I start hunting the day mule deer season starts due to the difference. For instance sunrise here this morning is about 6:49 and if I was hunting Mule Deer on my lease in West Texas this morning I would have to wait for sunrise till 7:13. Huge difference in the amount of light I would have here vs. West Texas. If I had feeders at both spots going off the same time of 6:30 am. one would be in the daylight and one in the dark.

I see no reason to set feeders to go off while it is dark. Google sunrise/sunset times where YOU hunt. Set timer for sunrise and 1-1/2 hrs. before sunset.
Allow for days to get shorter and adjust as necessary, depending on when you expect to hunt.

7 and 4:45, however I stager my feeders so that I can hear them to make sure they all go off.

I have had good luck with feeders going off about 15 minutes before light, the older deer seem to be at ease in the dark, and hang around long enough to get a good look at them. I have another setting go off about 20 minutes after light. I am talking early and late season.
