Hi all,
I have owned a ******* Gravity feeder since March 2017. In 9 months and despite 24/7 observation of the feeder with a trail cam, I have yet to get a picture of any deer feeding out of the feeder, which is full of shelled corn and has the baffles open all of the way. Each chute is full of corn and the baffles are not clogged. This feeder is in a location where I used to get daily pictures of multiple deer and turkey when I had a spinning feeder. The deer numbers on my property are high, and I have killed a nice buck with my bow here both years I have lived on the property. So, its not an issue of a lack of deer. I see deer on virtually every hunt on this small property. I recently got frustrated with the lack of success and clear avoidance of this gravity feeder, and I dumped all of the corn on the ground. The deer ate the corn off the ground within a few days, and I had hundreds of deer pictures at the feeder site in a matter of ~3 days. I am at a complete loss for why the deer are avoiding this feeder at all costs. I called ******* and they seemed to have no idea, and told me to move the feeder, which makes no sense considering the situation (the feeder is already in a secluded location that deer feel comfortable in). Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, or have a similar experience?
