![]() ![]() Early feeder times are great in the morning, except that on a cloudy morning you may have the deer (especially if you have a high deer density) consuming most of the feed before you can see them very well.įrom my experience using deer feeders, the larger bucks tend to be visit very early in the morning early in the season, so the earlier your feeder can go off, the more likely you are to have larger bucks come in. That is, if there are any mature bucks in the area.Īlthough most hunters will consider an evening time later than 3:30 p.m., you’ll be surprised at what you will see during the early afternoon, especially with proper feeder placement. If you can get the does to come in early in the afternoon then it’s only a matter of time before the older bucks come following closely behind, particularly during the rut. A feeder needs to run at the ideal time in the afternoon as to attract older bucks early enough in the evening, with enough daylight to see the antlers on their heads clearly. Hunters are using feeders to attract deer, but ideally they want to attract mature deer, specifically mature bucks. The best time for automatic deer Feeder B to run would be just before sunset, so probably 5:00-5:15 p.m. In the example above, the best time for Feeder A to run would be just before the shade covers the feeder, probably around 4:30 p.m. Feeding in the shade allows deer to remain cooler. Shade is also important, at least here in Texas, because sometimes it can still be quite warm in the afternoons during deer season. Deer and other wild animals do not want to stick out like a sore thumb. Shade is important because it helps to conceal the deer. First, it’s close to cover and, secondly, it’s going to be in the shade. If I place Feeder A 5 yards off a woodline and Feeder B 50 yards off a woodline, which feeder will have deer first in the afternoon? Feeder A. Deer prefer low-light situations, so I actually prefer to position the deer feeders I use in such a way to take advantage of shadows cast by trees.įor example, let’s say I have a woodline to the west of my stand. On the other hand, spin-feeders located within an adjacent woodlands are more likely to be used for longer periods of time during both the morning hunt as well as evening hunts. Deer are more apt to feed in open areas when the sun is low in the sky. If a feeder is located in a wide-open field, then it needs to run very early in the morning and later in the afternoon. In my opinion, selecting the ideal or best time for a deer feeder to run really does vary with feeder location. This is especially true later into the evening. These early deer want to get there and grab a bit before the dominant, deer, bigger bucks kick them out. These are typically the younger and smaller deer, which many hunters are not looking to shoot, at least not right away. When a spin-feeder goes off, some deer wait for the noise of a feeder and then come right in. Some hunters prefer a bit later in the morning and in the evening, but the times mentioned above have worked well for me in the past.
