Just wondering......how many feeders on a place is too many? I was thinking this weekend while hunting, here i am at this feeder , waiting in my pop-up, while there is most likely more at nearby feeders, that may have been here had i not put those up. How many feeders per acre do you think is appropriate? What sais the gs???

Ha! story of my life. Go out to lease by myself. Sit and wonder what shows up at other spots. -
we have 6 feeders on 645 acres
started out with 4 but my dad wanted a camp feeder and another feeder in a wheat field that did not have a feeder in it so now we have 6. I was more comfortable with 4 feeders myself, but I really don't think there is a right/wrong answer for this oneComment

I have two within 100 feet of each other.
They are set to go off at different time. like 7 and then 7:30
One to bring them in to the bow blind... The other to move them over to a tripod.
I will not do that next year. They are at bothComment

There are two types of answers to this question
1) # potential hunters at one time = # of feeders or
2) # of deer is proportional to the # feeders.
#1 is for baiting/hunting
#2 is for managing the size and health of your herd.
Which one are you REALLY wanting to know?Comment

1-100 is a good rule of thumb depending on how thick the plot isComment
