I aint probably hunt in about 15 years, im 25 now i used to go with my dad but i hardly remember it.
I got a blind about 100 yards from a feeder, i get out there about 5 in the morning but i havnt seen nothing yet, but i have some general questions
My dads an old guy and he cant get up in the morning, he drives a big rig til late at night, and i was wondering what my options are for going in the evening or around noon, because i want to take him with me i know hed love it.

My other question, can anyone give me some tips on gettin em to show up? Im on a budget so my blind is just a blind curtain i let air out for a few days, strung along a tree line with the trees to my back so im pretty covered. But i just cant get nothin to show up.

Make sure the primary wind is in your favor from the feeder to the blind. In most places in Texas, that will involve the blind being either NW, N, or NE of the feeder.

If you can get one, put up a camera to see if anything is coming, and at what time.

Feeder location can matter a lot. I would avoid having it in the bald open; deer will be happier if it's fairly close to some cover.

Some of the attractants, like B&J, might help deer initially start coming to your feeder.

*All these assume you have deer in the area you are hunting. That's probably the first step.

Are the deer eating all the corn from your feeder? What time are you feeding and how long? Wind is something I never thought about when I was young. My dad didn’t hunt and had no one to take or teach me good habits.
