I hunt 3 private properties in Texas where baiting is legal. The deer are stupid in south texas and will come in to a feeder while you are in a tripod 8 ft off the ground with poor cover. I usually go there to tag out on does at the end of the season. I hunt the hill country as well and we run corn feeders there, the deer are stupid there likewise, but very small. A monster buck there is 130”. I also hunt east texas where the deer are very well educated and walk around looking up on the trees. I hunt pigs year round in east texas with corn, and I will take an occasional doe off of a corn feeder. I only bow hunt, don’t let anyone fool you, hunting on a corn feeder is not always productive. When the acorns are falling, corn piles up under the feeders for weeks. Also mature animals will wind you every time at a feeder because they always circle down wind. I have been more successful hunting mature bucks on trails and funnels than feeders. Mature bucks just don’t come to the corn feeders during daylight hours in east Texas. A large solitary boar will very rarely come to a feeder while a bow hunter is near, I usually have to stalk in on big boars with my bow. Their eyesight is horrible. I will say that I have found that it is easier, and more relaxing hunting trails than feeders the dang deer are super cautious while at a feeder and any little movement will send them to the next county snorting.
