We are looking at a couple of these. Father in law and also some friends in Woodville have them. About $2500 according to them. Don't think that includes the platform but I'll find out. I do like the antler sheds.

Thanks for the help. I'm looking forward to learning how to manage this.

I looked at the settings on the feeders and it appears they were set for 7am, noon and 7 pm. Not sure how long they were set for. So I need to reset and only feed in morning? And how long to run the feeder? 1 minute, 30 seconds? No clue. And should I be feeding now?

And if you have feeders when do you start and stop or do you feed year round?

I feed at 6 am and 3 pm. Feeding at 7 pm is basically inviting the to come done at midnight while you're in bed. Waste of money.

Depending on your feeder and speed, you'll want it to go off for 5-12 seconds. But basically, just hit the test button and check to see how much is on the ground. Adjust as necessary.

I'd set for 6 AM & 3-4 PM & run for 30 seconds. I've already started feeding but a lot of folks will wait another month.
