Far East Texas place, 100+ acres long rectangle, 3 hunters that will seldom have three hunters present, three stands with feeders evenly spread. Deer present, but primarily a Hog lease.

Young County Place 500+ acres long rectangle with 80+ acres across road. 2 hunters with no guests. Four to five feeders running any given year. Because only two of us are on lease, stands are not placed by distance. Some are near each other, some are remote. Placed related to natural game trail funnels, fields, water, for different wind directions, and places we have always seen deer or hogs every year. Two additional stands that might count for the question do not have or need feeders as they are covering game trails to two different neighbor's well established year round feeders on fence line.

12 feeder locations on 5000 acres. Obviously could put more and probably will at some point. I personally hunt about 850-1000 acre section on this ranch and I have 2 stands and feeders. Dickens county

2 feeders per blind location in our group................because showing up to discover that your one feeder has pooped out is not a good feeling. We have 10 spots among 5 of us on @ 6500 acres, not to mention other hunters on the property. We've tried to position spots as to "lock down" certain areas so we're not on top of anyone and vice versa. We blind share and it's pretty rare we're all down at the same time as to keep specific spots from being overly hunted.

I guess I am the odd one out here. I have 130 acres that only I or one of my boys hunts. I have 9 feeders on the place. 1 main field has three feeders in it, the other has 4. The one that has 4 has one at either end (250 yards apart, a dedicated hog feeder and a "spare" in the pen with the capsule feeder. The other field has 3 in it, they are set up like a triangle and approximately 250-300 yards apart. But one is on the ridge, one set back in the woods, and one in the edge of the field.
I feed year round so it does get pricey, but it's worth it because you are always going to see something no matter where you sit.
Plus- if I only had one feeder in each field I couldn't keep up with the turkeys. 50-75 turkeys running from feeder to feeder doesn't leave much for the deer if you only have one feeder.

6 on 133 acres. Then occasionally use a hanging pipe feeder. Dump rice bran on the ground.

On our ranch we run 4 feeders on 820acres. There is 320 acres on one side of the county road and 500 on the other side. Feeders are place on opposite ends of the ranch well off the fence lines. U can run as many feeders as you want But you can only hunt one at a time. In my opinion the less feeders you have the better off you are drawing all the deer to one feeder vs four feeders. And plus the whole time ur hunting ur going to be wondering what is going on at the other feeder.
