Hunting deer over corn is sorta new to me. I grew up in upstate SC and hadn’t done it until about eight years ago when I moved to the coast. Not too far in the past corn was cheap enoug to grab a bunch of bags of corn and pour them out. With corn prices rising I have went to feeders for the most part. With all that said. What times do y’all set your feeders to disperse corn? Right or wrong, I set mine to go off about thirty minutes before shooting light, and about an hour before sunset. These times have to be adjusted some during the season, but for the most part it just has to be close. My thinking is in the morning if the feeder spooks deer I’d rather it do it before light and give the deer time to come back when I can legally shoot. In the afternoon I don’t want the corn laying there too long for the squirrels and birds before the deer get a chance at it. Maybe I am putting too much thought into it, but it’s too hot to hunt today and why not gather some opionions.
Morning hunting, set timer for about 30 minutes after daylight. Evening hunting, about an hour before dark. Run time about 3 seconds to start, to much corn on the ground gives the deer no reason to come to it in a hurry. Make them want to get it before any other deer bet them to it, by not putting out to much.
Mine are 6A and 7P for 4 seconds. When time changes I’ll move them an hr.
Guess I should back off the feed times. I have mine set at 10 sec
corn prices??? I grow corn, and it hasn’t been this cheap in years. I’ve got shelled or cob corn for 7.50 a bag. Hard to make any money when the grain prices are this cheap, and the fertilizer bills are as high as ever.
I agree corn prices this year are much better. Good on you for farming it is difficult for the grower thats for sure.
