I have tried attractants, Fenced the feeders to keep out pigs. Deer come to my food plots but not to a feeder. Anybody have any suggestions for bow season. How to bring the deer in range of a bow.

We have yet to see any deer at our feeders this year. I think there is plenty of natural browse so they are not forced to eat what we provide. Any chance you could set up on a travel route to and from the food plots? Use a camera to pattern their times and find a good ambush point.

Do u have hogs?

Like H20 said, look for the trails they are using to come & go from the foods plots. Hunt those trails.

I wanted to add, be careful about hunting those trails and leaving your scent. They may change the routes they take if they think anything is different.

So with the hog panels up, is the corn stacking up under there?

We had a hanging feeder a few years back that the deer did not like at all. The timer used to make a clicking noise and used to shake in the wind, so we changed out the timer and tied off the legs on the drum and the deer started coming in fine. Don't know which of those it was but one of them didn't agree with the deer at all.

Definitely work travel patterns... I have several feeders set up, but I always seem to be in the tree stands on the trails to the feeders...

Lots of hogs. But they usually stay to the back of the property until I fill their feeders after hunting season. I also have the feeder fenced my trailcams show no hogs getting into the fence.

Corn stacks up under the feeder and trail cams show no deer. I cut trails through the 5ft blacberry that all come together at the feeder in hopes the deer will follow them, other than that the deer can't get through the overgrowth.

There is a tremendous amount of browse for them to forage on. But I have never seen a deer that would ignore a feeder with luscious sweet corn inside free for the taking.

What county are you hunting?

try roasted soybeans

If given a choice of green browse and corn, the deer will always choose the browse. Far more nutrients in the browse for them. As a wildlife biologists said "why would deer choose hard yellow candy (corn) over a buffet of ice cream (browse)". When the green browse dies, you will see the deer at your feeders to a greater extent.

last year I couldn't for the life of me get deer to come to corn but this year they are coming much better.

MOST areas have recieved good rain this year and they are probably eating the natural grub. You might now see what you want until the grass goes away some.

Beast Feast has always worked great added to corn. I believe your deer will start hitiing your corn once they start preparing for the breeding season. They need the carbs for energy that corn provides, be patient but it sounds like you're doing the right stuff.

Thanks for the Help

Dont worry come November - December when everything browns up the deer will find your corn. They will need those carbs for teh rut.

We had a problem last year because the abundance of acorns in the woods.

Deer on our place were comming to feeders on regular basis until 2 weeks ago when we got 9.5 inches of rain. Since then the woods have "greened up" and the deer are browsing on the "new green". Don't worry if you feed they will come after the browse has browned.....

With green forge & acrons dropping there is going to be alot of that. Happens every year.
