on 2/17/2009 Great article. The deer look very fat and happy with the feeder... I should have thought of that when I used to hunt on our property when I lived in Oregon... Could have had the deer in one spot eating all year around to be just sitting there waiting for me come hunting season..... But my mother in law has deer on her property, doesnt allow hunting but I bet she would love to feed the deer this way!
