re: How long should it take deer to find a new feeder?

You think 2 feeders with a 40 pound bag in each should last 3 weeks with below average to average deer population?
Nope. Coons will have it emptied in 2 or 3 days. That's the only bad thing about gravity feeders. I've never had one stay full over 3 or 4 days. A big group of deer or a couple coons will knock it out quickly

They're on demand type feeders? They can stay right there and eat till they decide to leave? Wont make it a week.

It depends if the coons know about it or not. I have had a feeder that would be dry within 2 days from coons alone. Yet 400 yards on the same road they're was never a coon on camera and I could get a pipe(3 sacks) to last 2~3 weeks.

yea I guess it depends. I've made a lot of coons fat with my corn over the years. I've got these two 300# Moultrie feeders that I need to put out but work has been crazy and they're still sitting right where I left them in my back yard.

If I can keep the coons out of it, I think it might last a few weeks with the deer population being so much smaller and it being new feeders and all. With this being new land I have never hunted and no one else has to my knowledge, it will be interesting to see what shows up on the camera.
Thanks for the help everyone. I'm a little concerned about the horse fence running along the north side of the property. I know deer can easily jump a 5 foot fence, but I'm concerned they won't make the effort to on a daily basis without good reason. Anyone think that fence will stop them from crossing over?

I don't think so. It might help keep other things out but deer shouldn't care at all.

That fence isn't gonna stop them from anything
