Yep, you're right. I've never used feeders. They are not legal in any state I've hunted in.
The 2 weeks comment was for WI. Most of the people that bait come out two weeks before the season, dump their corn pile and repeat each weekend until the season starts.
WI law is 2-gallons of bait, no matter what it is per 40 acres. Mineral/salt blocks included. The warden that talks at our hunters saftey classes, says there are 8 gallons of corn in a 50#bag.
