I can see a feeder from my favorite stand on my place in East Tx.... but I don't look in that direction when I hunt...does this count?

Anyone Here Not Hunting Over Feeders on Their Lease?

It is fun to hunt both ways. Can't bait in Wisconsin, and it has forced me to be a better hunter. Although I would not say it is easier, baiting/feeding deer is a lot of work!
Last year I did not manage to kill a deer at my feeder, but I shot an elk in New Mexico and a Wisconsin buck with no bait. My son did shoot 3 deer at the lease in Texas though.

Killed at a feeder first of Dec this past season in McCulloch cty. Second pic buck also killed at a feeder on the same ranch previous year. Not giants but good mature HC bucks.
The deer hit corn hard on our ranch so we all run feeders. I still place hand corn in shooting lanes though.

I stopped hunting deer over feeders 99% of the time 2 years ago due to the huge acorn crops. I still have protein and corn feeders in my areas but I prefer not to hunt over them. I prefer to still hunt or stalk down in the gully and creek bottoms. I've seen the biggest bucks on our place within 200 yds of my feeders but never at them. They seem to skirt around them so I try to guess which route they are going to use to avoid them and hunt along them sometimes just sitting by a tree (if rifle hunting). I've seen more mature deer doing this vs hunting feeders. This is in East Tx where deer tend to be more skittish though.
