the holes is a good idea but in my mind i still think the corn is going to get ruined by rain can you let me know what your experience is before i buy it thanks
You are right you can’t keep all the water out but the feeder but it does do a pretty decent job at keeping the most of it out. What I have found is if you throw corn in it and just let it sit the deer will not eat all of it quick enough and the bottom will start to go bad. What I do is I’ll throw about 150lbs of corn or 3 50lbs bags in and then every week go out and stir it around with a stick. That does a pretty good job at keep the corn fresh. Also you want to make sure to throw some corn around the feeder to to get them comfortable with it and let them know where the feed is.
I put it out in the woods the last couple weeks of the season and just left it open since the recommend leaving it open 24/7 for the first couple weeks you put it out. Now that the season is over I’ve had it going on the timer and it’s taken the deer awhile to get familiar with it plus it’s a different feeder to them so they are a little skittish of it. To answer your question tho yes I have had success getting nocturnal deer to come around during the day

Have you had any success getting daytime traffic over night?
