      I'm still using the same protein and it's located in almost the exact same place.


      Chootum!


      Is it a timed feeder? The ones I have are free choice. Maybe the bucks don't like your schedule.

        Yes it is a timed feeder but I started out loading up the head so feed would alway be available. They haven't even used up what's in the head yet because they're not showing up. It just seems like they just don't like the feeder itself.

            Update-8-20-2016

            For the month of August, we have received over 4.3in so far. When I was out there this past weekend, we received 2.65in on Saturday alone. I was able to top off feeders. They are still hammering the protein, but hopefully it will slow down a little since we received some rain and since the mesquites are full of beans. Here are some pictures from the weekend.

            Got one of the pop up blinds set up. I really have to build another blind quick:

            Here is a 4.5yr old 10pt that made a pretty big jump from last year. I really hope this buck makes it to at least 6.5yrs, he could be really special:

            This is a strange buck. I have pictures of him in July and he looked fine, but recently he got torn up on his side and his antlers got deformed. Pretty strange. He's on the hit list just because he is at least 4.5yrs, maybe older, and doesn't have the genetics we want:

              Here's another 4.5yr old 11pt. We hope he makes it to at least 6.5yrs because he's another buck that could be special in a year or two. The date listed on the picture is incorrect. This was taken on 8/16/16:

                        My 3-year old son, Mason, likes to dump bags over while I'm filling the feeders. He says he is just feeding the deer.

                                You can buy the eliminator spinner plates from texasdirecthunting.com, but they will only work on feeders with 1/4in shafts. Some feeders have 1/8th inch motor shafts and the eliminator plates wont work on them.
