Feed Station 101 – What works for us!

Here is a video I shot of one of our feed stations in Georgia. I wanted to share our setup with anyone who might be interested. First, we have a spinner feeder set to go off at different times of day. Currently during the summer we run it at 7:00 a.m. for about 4 to 5 seconds, since the deer are not consuming as much carbohydrates in their main diet at this time of year. The spinner feeder conditions them to check the feed station on regular intervals to see what feed is available. We also have a feed trough were we put corn, soybeans, and some supplemental feed between April and July when bucks are growing antlers and does are nursing their fawns. We also have a landscaping pool (that someone was throwing away in my neighborhood) to provide a good source of water. Finally we have mineral blocks placed on a hilly spot where we keep minerals year round. We run a camera almost a year round at this location to monitor which deer are using this station. Watch the video and see if this setup can help you in your wildlife management plan.
