Think natural. Acorns, honeysuckle, youpon berries, small food plots. I have had more luck hunting natural food sources than most anything. I also have good luck hunting over corn that's just been thrown on the ground. Usually the only deer I actually see go to feeders are does and some young bucks. A buck more than a year and a half old knows what they are and what happens when they get to close to them. The two does my boys shot and my buck were all three a ways from the feeder when they were shot. The only one that actually came to the feeder was Mitchs doe. The buck was over 150yrds away and near a creak. He came trailing a doe that was eating a little corn I threw out as I walked into my stand that afternoon. She also fed on youpon berries while there. With that combo she fed for almost 30 minutes before the buck came to check her out. She never went near the feeder.
