Only one way a deer learns to associate a feeder as dangerous is by watching their little buddies and mommas get wacked... Pressure pushes deer way.

Running like a scalded dog across a crp field in a snowstorm.

Last November 18pt scored 173

We haven't "whacked" a little buck or doe at a feeder in the 7 years I have had the place.

leaving a wheatfield

X2

Public land walking up a drain going to a bedding area. He was a little over 125 yards when I shot him. 20 ga with open sights.

He was 7 and i hunted him every year with my camera. If you don't kill a deer the first time you see him... you are more apt to see him again... heh

Killed my biggest at twenty yards with a bow.....he was on a deer trail.

rattled up,20 yds in self defense.He was pissed...and i was skeered.

I have my doubts on that one

one of the big ones we shot showed up at the feeder at 4pm almost on the dot. We saw him several times, I have a set of his sheds from the year before as well.

you can't kill them at 7 if you shoot them at 4.....but, i will agree its a roll of the dice, after 5yrs old mother nature takes its toll on them. I've let alot of nice bucks walk at 5 to never be seen again by me or any other hunter

I was being sarcastic If you shoot him...it is pretty obvious that you won't see him again....

My biggest was shot over hand thrown corn on a clearing out the north side of my blind, feedter is east of the blind. He was within 70 to 80 yards of the feeder.

My biggest was a 6.5 year old 8-point that scored an estimated grand total of 102. One antler fell off when he hit the ground, and the other fell off when we drug him out from under the tree. He'd been living at the feeder, and was starting to look a little rough. The owner didn't think he'd make it another year, and told me to take him out when I was there on a spike hunt.

about a 150yrd cut outa some thick stuff in a river bottom...doe passed first and he was right behind her

Spot and stalk on a sendero in South Texas, Nov 26th. Saw him while trying to get my son on a management buck the evening before. Set up to watch the sendero the next morning and when he emerged I made my move to get in range for the shot.

Biggest horns were on a buck on a day I wasn't even hunting, just driving through the pasture. Fortunately it was during the season and I had a rifle with me.

Biggest weight, I was hunting a hay field. He came out just over 300 yards away. Got him with a 7 mm mauser, aimed about 6 inches high.

The three biggest deer I killed were all in a field chasing a doe.

At the same time? Details

Behind the HF of course, where else would I be hunting.

Well you forgot about them phantom deer

You think you see them, but you really dont
