Just put one out yesterday. I feed from June till Janurary. I have it set to throw 3 seconds just in the evening. Although its just for hog hunting right now, come September I'll put out my big feeder and try and get the deer coming in.

Try to keep corn in them and running 3-5 seconds twice a day.
I don't hunt deer but rest of family does.
I harvest lots of feral hogs by being around when they go off but slack off the piggies as it gets nearer to deer season.

We keep free choice protein full from feb-oct and put some out at the free choice from oct-feb, just not filled.

Corn feeders throw year round, more during the season than off season, plug the road feeder before and during season.

Run mine year round twice a day at 6 seconds each feeding. I figure as long as they keep eating it, I will keep throwing it.

I have a couple going for feral hogs, but with all the groceries in South Central Oklahoma, the deer aren't touching the feeders. Tearing up the soybean food plots though!

I run mine year round. Starting in March or April I cut back to a little over 1 pound of corn per throw twice a day.

One of my feeders tosses this much in 3 seconds. The other takes about 8. It depends on the distance the thrower is from the bottom of the barrel & the timer motor.

Same here. This our first year on a lease outside of Dickens and time has not been friendly to us so we haven't been able to get anything out except for corn feeders. We will add something with the corn late August/early September and will start with the protein as soon as we can year 'round.

I went out today to find that one of my feeders, 500 pounder, had been blown over by high winds and there was not a kernel of corn anywhere to be found. I also found at my other spot that a large tree, which was the base for my big ladder stand, had snapped about five feet above ground and my stand had fell victim to this as well.

But trail camera did show that I have a couple of bucks and does coming to feeder, as well as a bunch of pigs.
