2000 lbs in 3 weeks is a lot! I went up last weekend and topped off my feeders and the deer had eaten 500lbs in 3 weeks. My corn feeders are throwing a lot of corn and they seemed to be hitting that more so. I think the mature does are still getting pushed out/chased by the immature bucks though (at leas that's what I observed sitting in my stand). So that may be contributing to the lack of consumption. It is not unusual for 1200lbs to be gone in 3 weeks. Think everyone else on the lease had filled up everything too so that helps.

your consumption rate seems high. Do you have any coons on your place? They can really do a number on your protein if not dealt with. I came across a neat product on here you might be interested in.
Check out www.coonhood.com
there is a couple of threads floating around on TBH that talk about them but I think they are still pretty new. Im thinking about buying some but wanted to see some of the review before doing so.

I filled it again on Dec 28 and went out this weekend to put up 2 more. Mine was empty! A ton in 35 days! I need a second job!
