Quick Question.
Why Not hunt near the area where you have fed protein all spring and summer?
Have seen this rule in lease rule books and it as even been mentioned on my current lease.
What would be the reasoning behind this?
We have fed protein for several years on my current lease. Our gravity feeders are hit hard from April - Aug. We seem to have a mature bachelor group at each of the feeders for most of the offseason. Other younger bucks hit the feeders, but most trail cam pics show a regular group of 5-6 bucks that eat the majority of the feed. Usually let the feeders run dry around Labor Day.
I have noticed that we have our resident bucks that stay, but about 50-60% of the bucks that hit the gravity feeders all summer disappear early in Oct. Some of these bucks are never seen at the slingers. Have had the thought of moving my larger protein feeder into a feed pen near my hunting area.
Just seems odd to feed 10,000# of protein to deer I never see.
