I will watch a feeder that no deer will come to, due to natural east texas food.

That's why I plan to be watching the intersection of several travel routes between several acorn flats.

With the lack of rain being so widespread, I suspect foot plot hunting will take a back seat this weekend.

I'll be watching my son watch a feed pen with a corn feeder and protein feeder. There are two distinct trails leading to the pen that will be watched closely.

Only one choice??

I'm watching a feeder at the head of a trail heading into a big acorn patch. I'm also on a road that I see down either side of the stand 200 yards. With a mesquite forest, yes a mesquite forest, it's real thick, behind me.

Would be watching my feeder at the pinch point of 2 crop fields but some JACKWAGON thought they needed my feeder and camera more than me over the winter. So my son and I will be enjoying our time together and hoping to see some deer.

This was my view for our opener on Oct 1st. Sulpher block at the end of the lane to the left and feeder 150 yards out front. Only had this set up 2 weeks prior to opener so I didn't get a chance to plant anything.

I have a feeder in a oat patch but the deer have stopped coming to it because of all the acorns. However, in the evening, they are still coming out in the food plot.

Flawed poll since it needs multiple choices. I can cover several of them from one blind.

I'll be hunting a cleared pipeline sendero at a cross fence sendero, with two feeders and corned roads, deep in the heart of the brush country.

Red dot is where the stand will be set. Blue dots are feeders. The stand will be on a hill crest. There's a creek running south to north to the east. Then another hill crest to the east of that. That hill crest is 350 yards.

X2 feeders and open field in the morning, then road and feeder in the evening, if the wind stays as forcasted.

I put watching a feeder, but really it's all of the above. I sit on the edge of a wheat field (food plot) that is at the intersection of fence lines (travel corridor), in an elevated blind (overlooking large area), staring at my feeder 80 yards away. smile Looks like I may have missed pinch point, oh well.
