I'm trying to settle a debate. Please be as honest as you can about your thoughts on the following (you won't hurt my feelings):
For a 3,000 acre place, which set up would you rather have? Please consider from each point of view:
1) As the one paying for it.
2) As the one not paying for it, but enjoying the benefits of it.
3) As the one filling up and maintaining the feeders.
4) As a conservationist. (mainly considering the overall habitat, birds, predators, deer, snakes, ants etc.)
5) As a hunter (mainly considering horn growth and deer management).
Set Up I:
-Four 1,000lb free feed protein feeders, each directly next to a 300lb corn feeder that throws a 70/30 mix of corn and birdseed. Each protein feeder is surrounded by a hog panel feeder pin and is spread out across the ranch.
-Nine additional corn feeders with no surrounding feeder pins throwing a mix of corn and birdseed.
-Each feeder goes off for 5 seconds
Set Up II:
-Four 1,000lb free feed protein feeders, each next to a 300lb corn feeder that throws a mix of corn, birdseed, and protein pellets. Once again, each protein feeder is surrounded by a hog panel feeder pin and spread out through the ranch.
-Nine additional corn feeders with no surrounding feeder pins throwing a mix of corn, birdseed, and protein.
-Each feeder goes off for 10 seconds
