I own 200 acres and the deer winter on my property. I feed in two different locations, one at each end of the property. I go through about 400lbs of corn a week and I also cut down the odd cedar tree for them. Hay is also used.
The lone deer is a nice buck who has lost his rack.

thats awesome..thanks for sharing
cool pics! are those all does or do your bucks not have racks right now?
Our bucks have not had racks for some time. There is one picture of a buck. The picture with the one jumping over the other, I believe is the group of bucks that have been showing up on a regular basis. Before they lost their antlers, I had several small bucks (4 and 6 pointers) on camera. On Dec 31/08, I actually passed on what at first I thought was a monster doe. The deer turned his head the right way and I could see blood where his antlers used to be. It is not uncommon to find sheds in late December.
That's a whole lotta deer roast right there

You mention the 400 #'s a week, about how many deer do figure that's feeding all total?
Some people are so judgemental. You can tell just by looking at 'em.--Some random meme

I think there are 25-30 different deer hitting the 2 feeding areas.
