Feeders are hung and spitting out corn.

Got a new tactacam set up taking pictures of everything that comes in to feed. It sends the photos right to my phone. I don’t even half to get up to see the deer & varmits visiting night or day.

This morning I got a photo of one of the old retired ranch horses stuffing his face before daylight.

[BUGEYE]

Luckily, feeders spread it out so the old horse can't founder himself.
And I would enjoy watching the horses as much as the deer, hogs, and turkeys.

if using that kind of feeder here, ya cant tell any one

Where is "here" for you? Here in Texas I'm not sure anyone would ever kill a deer.

[Ranger99]

All the "deer corn " I've seen in
this area is $10.00 a bag

Corn, primers, powder, bullets,
fuel, license fees

They're gonna price everybody out
of hunting before I get planted.
I would have thought it would be after

EVERYBODY, I know here "hunts" over feeders where I grew up. The only thing they "hunt" is a clearing to put the feeder. You feed'em for a few weeks, then on opening day you pick out the dinner guest you want to shoot.

When I hunted in my younger days here in West Texas, I hunted with my feet, and a good pair of binoculars. Those days are long since past.

The Dallas boys put me outta the deer shooting business about 10 years ago, by offering the land owner $6,000.00 a year more than we were paying.

Sounds cheap for 2021
I was checking JFG a few weeks ago on some
of the areas we used to cull hunt does and spikes
for free west and south of here
A "meat deer " hunt ( they call it) is $1000.00 to
$2000.00 depending on where and when for
1 1/2 days
A lease for bottom of the barrel scrub land
starts at $150.00-$200.00 an acre per man
Some guys are spending 10-20 thou for a
nice lease and not blinking when they write
the check.

I'm glad I still have a lot of fishing tackle

[Dee]

You can still buy a calf cheaper than that

[DEACONLLB]

Lucky for me I can still get a 55 gal drum full of corn for 37.00 but have to run out to the farmers farm and get it.

If I were you, which I’m not. I’d be doing the sea bag drag. I.E. I would move in a hurry. Can’t blame anyone but yourself being a grown man with choices...

We stalk hunt here in Oregon as well. Feeders are illegal. My Brother in Arkansas belongs to a club, that hunt gas line rightaways from stands. His is heated if need be, and he rides his side by side to get to the stand, and haul the deer out to the clubhouse, where it's butchered and hung in their walk in cooler. I told him we hunt in Oregon, and they harvest in Arkansas and other eastern states. They also plant turnip greens and other foods, just for deer and turkey.

No way to "stalk" in my region
A deer can keep a hundred yards of
briars and brush between it and the
best of hunters. You can walk up
the pigs sometimes though.
Safety factor too. Like every other place,
people make "sound shots "

JMHO- I  don't fret over what the other
guy does as long as he does it legally.
I know of a few that take a screen off
a window and shoot from their house.

Oldest boy put a 55 grainer in the boiler room of a good size whitetail doe this morning.

[Ranger99]

Good deal
I'd be satisfied with all does if that's
all I was presented with for the rest of
my days. They have 2 quarters, 2 shoulders,
2 backstraps, and a neck roast just
like the biggest big bucks do
