At least you know they are still there and are using your place. I'll bet summer is going to be very looooooooong for you. Hope you can get some pics of them during the summer to see their progress. I'm not having much luck getting any pics on my camera. The deer just aren't coming to the feeder. Although with the heavy snow we've had I'm betting things will change.
I'll post up what I get in a week or so.
I try and supplemental feed starting in Dec when the cold weather hits and my food plots are stressed. The deer on my place love the corn feeder as much as the food plots, although my turnip and rye patch have been hit hard this year.
The feeder I run is both a deer and turkey feeder and holds approx 150pds of corn. The feed usually lasts a maximum of 10 days, depending on the weather (just by looking at the pics the feed this past time lasted about 8 days). I have pics of as many as 8-10 deer at the station. I usually stop feeding around the last of March so I am legal for turkey season.
I am hoping for some snow to melt so I can frost seed some red clover in March. March is a great time to frost seed red clover and it usually takes off pretty well once we get some warm spring days. Plus, the turkeys love to eat and strut in those clover patches.
