I've got a feeder I run from August until April. It spits out 5 pounds in the morning and 5 pounds in the afternoon. That figures about 300 pounds per month. At 16 bucks for 100 pounds (that's what I pay) that's 48 bucks. You figure feeding 8 months thats 384 dollars. I think Bruzer is trying to compare how much corn you would have to feed to equal the nutritional value of a one acre food plot. It's really apples to oranges. Alot of folks can't afford, don't have the means, ect to put in a food plot, but could afford 50 bucks a month. At least the deer would have something to munch on. A little corn is better than nothing, and nothing is the case for alot of folks around here. I have nothing agaist food plots, but neither do I have anything agaist feeders. I consider them both baiting. I am considering some type of year round feeding this year since our little place seems to have an abundance of young bucks this year...
