          It could be. But it could also be that deer don't feel the need to come out until after dark to get their corn. If the feeders are in a feed pen it will be there when they decide to come and get it. A dominate buck will usually keep the other deer from utilizing the feeder even if they are not close by. Road feeding creates competition where the corn is spread over a greater distance. Dominate bucks can't guard this corn. Hogs, javelina, and all the deer get an equal shot. If a buck wants some corn he'll have to come out before it's gone.

            635am - 445pm. I adjust 5-10 minutes every month. I like my morning feed to go off 5 minutes or so before you can shoot so I only see their outline walking in the dark.

                That's too complicated for me lol. I have the redneck timers on some feeders and they only do hrs so I just change the clock to 30 minutes fast and set them for 7 am and 5 pm. Ideally in South Texas where I hunt 6:45 am and 4:15 PM would be perfect.

                    This - plus a short feed Time at 5:30 on some of my feeders
                    Turkeys and birds gone by last throw time

                    With my "game country" mechanism I never have to change my time all year.
                    Best $75 I ever spent. Spins at Daylight and near dark.
                    Mechanism adjusts itself to remember daylight and dark from the day before to
                    Know when to throw the next day.
                    I have two extra feedings 1 hour after daylight and one hour before dark also.

                        Not the case at all, very little pressure so far in fact most blinds have not even been hunted yet.

                          7AM and 4:30PM. The hogs usually hit feeder and the deer hit the senderos I corn.

                            19 feeders going off at 6:30am and 4:30pm but in about a week I will adjust them all to 6:45am and 4pm. I also have 2 night time feeding on most for the hogs because I love to shoot them also. I also have 6 hand corn spots that I feed 2-5 times a week and they have the most deer activity at them. Most of the deer activity at all my spots is during the day because the deer know if they don't hit the corn during the day they wont get any because the pigs will be there after dark to clean it up.
