New Boss Buck Feeder

[psedna]

I finally bought a "nice" boss buck gravity feeder. NOt plastic ones...

PUt it out four nights ago, in an area with a very nice deer population, in an area that they regulary travel and hang out.

I have fed for years on the property, and good bucks and does come to the feeders. Neighbor on north has been using at least one if not more boss buck feeders for a few years at least.

I have never had this happen before, they always hit the new feeders first night or def by second night.

Four days now - not a single deer.

Its just weird and not what I expected at all...

I put one out a couple of months ago and the does are starting to eat some.

I have one that I stopped filling back in march, filled it back up a few weeks ago and the does n bucks were on it within 24 hours.

Maybe because it is so tall and bigger - Still strange these deer are use to and like to eat corn! It has cover, in thinned pines around it.

There is a pretty big buck in the area that sometimes used trail this feeder is near, I hope that I have not spooked him..

Give ‘em a minute.

They eat out of mine 5-6 deep

But…. My buddy sold me the feeder because the deer would not eat from it. About 800 yards away.

Go figure…,

Good luck

I had mine out for a whole season and just coons would mess with it. I moved it 50 yards this year and filled it with corn and that cherry bomb feed and its empty every 3 weeks when I come up to check it. The bad news is I have a spypoint on it and it wont take pictures so I dont know whats eating it.

That seems weird to me…..maybe try rubbing some ever calm on it? I get more trail cam pics with that stuff that anything else, other than community scrapes.

No issues with mine

I put up some new hang-on feeders a couple years ago about gun season, pretty much ran the deer out of that area. Had an older one I put up same spot, they went right to it. Maybe a manufacturing smell?

Time, gravity feeders in new spots can take time to establish. Load it up with strong feed, corn coat, Attrax, Roasted Raxx, Buck Yum, mix crush into your corn. Put a feed block under it. You want them when they eat and pick up there head smelling those ports. It’s frustrating but takes time when they don’t just take to it over night.
