One note, I've never shot a buck anywhere near a feeder, that might not be the case in Texas but I put the feeders in bedding areas and leave them alone so those areas can hold deer.
I'd agree that you don't see bucks aroudn the feeder spot itself, the trail camera easily confirms that the bucks only come to feed late at night vs. during the day so if you wanting to feed only to shoot a buck vs. pull in does your probably not going to be happy.
