Thinking about increasing either my feed times from the feeder, or doing it 3 times a day instead of 2. Right now it's morning and afternoon, but was curious if you thought it would be more beneficial if I added a 3rd feeding time say 9/9:30am or just made my 2 current feed times longer.

When he was young, I told Dale Jr. that hunting and racing are a lot alike. Holding that steering wheel and holding that rifle both mean you better be responsible.

will you still be on stand? I have seen most of my deer are coming to the areas I have used my road feeder on the way into my area. Last Sat. morning I drove in and had deer in the immediate area, started slinging corn and they parted like the red sea until I passed, by the time I parked and got in the stand they were all over that area I just corned.

I would be in my stand or blind. I don't have a road to drive down and feed when I get there. Just a normal feeder with a timer.

I like to hunt from daylight till dark so a second throw works good for me. You can see a lot of bucks in midday whether you throw corn or not. I think most that throw an extra throw do so about an hour after first.
At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR
