New feed pen - how long before the deer hop in?

They'll get in when they need to.

Hate to do this within two weeks of the opener, but. Feeder has no pen, has been running for a year and deer hit it regularly. However that stopped a few weeks ago when the pigs started showing up en masse daily. Since then no deer pics. I don’t have time to do it myself so I’ve got a guy going out Monday to build a big panel pen. How long would you guess it will take before the deer get comfortable with it?

Right now? About 18 hours.

Hunt in Shackelford county like you. I thought that it would take no time at all. We put up standard 60 inch panels and it took so long that we finally cut them down in 3 to 4 places to about 48 inches so they felt more comfortable jumping in. Hogs and cows still kept out. Size of the pens was not an issue. As soon as we cut them down they jumped in...
