Have 2 Banks feeders out for 3 years. Set em at 39" any you're golden. Add a critter guard to the 4x4 and nothing will get to em except deer. Hogs will push on the feed ports and loosen them up. We solved that by removing the wing bolts that attach the ports to the feeder and inserted wood long wood screws thru side of ports into body of feeder.

I put out my first Banks 300# feeder over a month ago and the deer haven't touched it yet. When I filled the feeder I started with about 75# of corn to get them eating out of the tubes and then topped off the feeder with a pellet feed. I spread corn around the area. I have pictures of deer eating to corn off the ground, but they never touch the corn in the feeder tubes. Is there anything I can do to get the deer to start using the feed tubes of the Banks feeder?

Add stabilized rice bran to the feed. Crack for deer.

I have heard of several people adding rice bran, does it have any benefits or is it more of an attractant?

It has 15-20% fat content,But is a great attractant to get the deer using a feeder.
I have found once the deer find the feeder you can stop using the rice bran and mix in protein and or corn,depending on the time of year.

Where can I get stabilized rice bran? I assume most feed stores would have it?

If they don't they can order it.
