Year round, does come in regularly, they have fawns so the fawns get use to coming in regularly, bucks eventually follow the does in. That is the reason I feed year round.

I would put out a protein block for them though. If there is enough natural feed then I wouldn't worry about it.

I cut mine back at green up, but always throw some to keep their gut accustomed to it. Do some research on quick feeding corn and for a short time.

I have question about where most of you guys buy your corn. Found some today at D&L Farm supply for 9.79 a 50. Is that the going price or can it be found cheaper. I'm new to feeders and just wanted to get some advice. Thanks for any opinions and advice.

Look around at some other places, shouldn't be too hard to find it cheaper than that. I know Tractor Supply and Academy are selling it cheaper than $9.79 for 50lbs. Might vary depending on where you are at but definitely look at some other places.

The deer go where the groceries are. I feed year round. Slow it down feb through aug to about 12 sec a day. I am one of the few on our place that feed corn year round as well as put our alfalfa hay and mineral blocks. I also see more deer and shoot bigger bucks. I've had the same stand location for about 12 years. you can see the deer trails coming and going to my stand from google earth. it looks like a spider web. no one else has traffic like that on our place.
