I took a 1/10 ratio from an earlier post on 4200 acres for 420 head and divided 400,000lbs of feed by 420 for 952lbs/year/animal. Are you still on your same place in Brady Ronny?

Yep, I'll be there as long as they will let me stay.
I need to go try to kill some axis, we have some good ones this year.

I didn't find the study I was looking for but here is an interesting one dealing with the subject at hand.

Two more points.

Your property will support more animals, and over a couple of years you will steal your neighbors deer. Adding water to the protein stations helps even more.

Good luck.....

what if the feeder is like 200 yds from a stock tank?

Your fine with that, a water source is a water source be it a station or a stock tank and a few hundred yards is plenty close.
