Several years ago, Tim Caven told me he and his son went to some southeastern state where they knew people and set up a deer feeder location. He said the property owner’s trail cam showed 30+ coon eating the corn below the feeder. Tim said he and his son set 50 DPs with their baits ( Mn Trapline Products) beneath and around the feeder. Next morning they had one coon and the property owner about laughed them off the property. The next night, after moving quite a ways back from the feeder, they picked up quite a few. And by the end of their stay, had a very good catch.

He said all the recommendations about moving away from the food source are spot on. He also said to use the bait coming out of the feeder because that’s what they’re used to eating.
