Also, folks working out of or with a feed store are looking to build on their business, especially in rural areas.

This is true but you also have to watch out for them possibly seeing trophy animals and telling people that might be tempted night hunt your area... I understand that it can free up a LOT of your time hiring this done but I'm not sure it won't bring a lot of attention to your trophy animals.

Hope it works out for you.

Your concerns are reasonable, but most deer hunting in Texas takes place in more rural areas on private land.

With white tails, especially trophy bucks being big business here, between lease holders/land owners and Game Warden's, some poaching does take place but not like it once was and normally not for the bigger bucks.

In most of the rural areas, people, the locals, have time to pay attention to such things as vehicles and schedules. Strange vehicles and activities taking place outside of what is normal are paid attention too. Anything turns up amiss at a camp/around feeders or evidence of a deer being poached, some one will have seen something.

Call West Bear Creek in Junction and talk with Ford. He'll fill your feeders for you. Has a 5000 lb blower that'll make short work of it. Great guy and a great store and you can trust him! Been filling mine and several friends' feeders for years and zero problems.

Found a blower trailer I wanna use and found someone to deliver bulk feed..... Just need an overhead feed bin.....maybe 12 ton.... the dern things are expensive, made in Oklahoma and shipping is about as much as the bin.... Any ideas?

J, one thing a person should consider is the weather conditions in the area. Don't know for sure about the feed bins that size but on our smaller protein feeders, if filled full, they will sweat on the inside and cause problems.

I had Junction Warehouse fill the protein feeder. They did a great job! Thank you all.
