I have 3 of these stands on our land and they are super nice. All the inside is carpeted.

If you have trees I would get a bunch of two man stands when they go on sale at Academy for 99 bucks and place those in the woods along the trails and opposite your shooting house so u can hunt the wind etc. 150 yards is ok but remember the deer with cluster around the edge of the woods until dark which means your kids will be taking 150 yard shots. That is long shot for a kid.

Agree 100% on rice bran. flavor it will Koolaid and they will go nuts. they also love sweet potatos and that sweet potato horse feed. set up some cameras the kids love that and you can also began to detect patterns.

As mentioned game cameras, bit nothing is as good as seat time unfortunately. Get out in the woods and see what pattern they deer are taking. Once you figure that out you will have the upper hand. Also don't underestimate the wind.

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?

You should install some high fence. Best hunters hunt high fence.

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.

Thanks to both of you. Since its new to me I'm going to start feeding now just to see how it goes.

Now I need a couple of trail camers. What is a good one, how much and where should I mount them? Obviously to view the feeder.
