Anyone use feeders?

[Rutin]

Does anyone use or have used feeders for deer? Im curious what you filled it with to supplement your deer. Ive never used a feeder before but I bought one for this new KY property I got since I know nothing about the property and want it for inventory purposes and not to hunt over. Im going down saturday to set it up and check my 4 cameras. Currently im going to put 100lbs of corn and 100lbs of Beet pulp pellets in it to give it a trail for a few weeks.
I know NOTHING about these feeders.... The closest Ive come to a feeder is taking a 5 gal. bucket of corn and dumping it.

So my main question is what do you fill your feeders with?

I've always done corn, but I have a mix that I'm saving for later in the season when the food is scarce. I'll have to dig the bag out to see what it is. i don't even remember.
Beef pellets will work. Somebody posted something bad about them though... I can't remember who... on another thread about this last winter. Maybe it was Jack? I'm sure some others will chime in.
Good luck keeping the coons and turks off the corn.

I too am new to feeders. I am using straight corn. It has seem to work well from our pictures we have gotten back. Good luck and keep me posted if you come up with any other ideas.

I have three supplemental feeding stations (feeders) on my property. One on the far North side, one on the far South side and one one on the extreme West side. I usually fill them up once a month after the fall turkey opener. I will feed through Feb and then stop. I use on-time's buckeye feeder. It holds 200# and uses no batteries (gravity fed). During the early season it lasts for about 3 weeks. Come January they go through it in approx 10 days. My hope is with the feeders and food plots I can hold more deer than what my property would hold otherwise.

If you are using a spreader set it to go off once a day this time of year. Mid nov. Turn it up they will us it more. I like to use hole corn and bean meal.
