I'm running the exact same settings as you. Im seeing plenty of animals.

In my opinion you have to figure out what works for your property because every property is different. I personally would start with 5 seconds at first light and 5 seconds two hours before dark. If the corn isn't being all ate by the deer then turn it down to 3 seconds. If the deer are eating it all before dark then add a couple of seconds. Now if you have a lot of pigs that come out during daylight, your going to want to put up a feed pen unless you would rather shoot pigs then deer because the pigs will run the deer off.

Deer feeder times and amount??

Right now we are throwing 630 am and pm for 10 seconds. Between the crows, hogs, deer, turkeys, it's just enough.

Where is your place ? Have fun. Do your best to make sure the thing is slinging. I say 2-3 seconds. As said the spinner plate/funnel gap is different for everyone. I do 2 sec in the off season and ramp it up to 4 just before the season starts. My place is so far that I only get to check it every 2-3 months at best so I need the corn to last. I have feeders that are closer. I can check them every week. I ramp the times up on those. 4-5 seconds. Im back before they go empty. Congrats on the new place. Take pics and share um.

Mine throws 30 minutes before sunrise and about 2 hours before sunset. I throw about 7#'s of corn per day with the feeder throwing 3 seconds each run.

We throw 6 secs at 7 and 7. It is all eaten up before the deer leave. But I also only have 2 feeders on about 1000 acres. We only have about 500 but nobody hunts around us within that 1000 acres. Only 2 of us hunting it.

I feed 30 minutes after sunrise for 4 seconds, afternoon is at least 90 minutes before sunset for 2 seconds

2 seconds at 6 am and 2 seconds at 6 pm is when i do mine

Yep--and the narrow opening helps keeping the winds from emptying it for you. Weigh what the bucket catches from one spin, total up what all the day's spins throw, and divide the amount the feeder holds by the amount thrown in one day to get how many days it will last.

You forgot to divide by 4..........gotta have that coon factor in there.

Im throwing 6:55 am and 6:45pm rite now,try set your cam up to, then can see what times you have activity and if you have alot of pigs coming in or coons. good luck man

I set mornings at 6:10am CDT or 7:10 am CST. I set evenings at 4:40am CDT and 5:50am CST. I want to make sure I've made it to blind for PM hunt, especially on days I'm running late to the blind- so set a little later than most.

Set for 3 seconds in morning. 2 seconds in evening. Evening corn gets eaten by hogs as much as deer at my place, and much of that after dusk which is only good for the hogs.

Ours is set twice a day at 2 seconds a piece. That lasts about a month or so (depending on the feeder). We don't like to feed a lot of corn because it just gives the cows more excuse to screw things up.
