I can't scientifically prove it, but by experience I have seen the same deer, year after year coming to the same feeders. If they are spooked they might leave for a couple of days but most return. These BTW are low fenced. Im not doubting your experience, just saying it differs from mine. If you have a study I'd love to see it. Captdavid

"It's not how hard you hit 'em, it's where you hit 'em." The 30-06 will, with the right bullet, successfully take any game animal in North America up to 300yds.

If you are a hunter, and farther than that, get closer!
