I tried both in the past. Both work, but I feel feeder is better. Hand feed works, you will hold deer around your spot, but their presence will vary. If you can hunt several days in a row, you will have more chance to see them (>50%). Feeder+camera will make it far more easier. Save a lot of time and efforts.

Are there common compartments that are closed each year to hunting? Or totally based on numbers the rangers get from spotting deer?
Been scouting some, found a few promising spots so far, just my luck is they will be in the areas that we cannot hunt in!
Also do you guys see a lot of snakes out there? So far i've not seen any.

-- going mule deer hunting later this year at Lake Meredith -- hear there are snakes up there also.
-- plan on hiking a lot.. did some research on snake boots but none seem to advertise good for
long hikes as their selling point.
I use chaps but they are a bit of a pain in themselves.

Does anyone know what the trees are like out at Lake Georgetown? I haven't gotten a chance to scout out there yet and am looking to get a new stand this year. Trying to decide on a climber or hang-on, but I don't know if the trees are any good for climbers. I assume it will highly depend on your spot, but in general are climbers a bad idea for this area?

anchorman - I've not seen a whole bunch of trees conducive to latching on a climber. most folks seem to use either ladder or the ground...might be a few brave enough to put up a tripod, but wise folks don't put anything out there they are not willing to loose. not that i've heard of a big theft problem, but it could easily happen.
