Ask away, by all means. By “standard feeders” I assume you mean corn spinners. What I like to do is put a corn spinner and a timed protein feeder at my main setups (two main setups on our 180 ac, one additional corn spinner at a third setup). This benefits both me and the deer in my experience through the following: 1. Showing up to hunt and finding your feeder battery is dead or the feeder has been empty for awhile is aggravating as hell. Having two feeders doubles the chances one is operational when you roll up on a Friday afternoon or whatever and are looking forward to having some nice stand time and seeing some wildlife. 2. I only throw corn for 1-2 seconds from my spinners, and I only open the protein feeders for a couple minutes morning and evening. I maintain good range conditions, plant food plots, and try to maintain appropriate stocking numbers. I don’t want the deer to rely on the corn and protein; more that it’s an extra snack that they like and which gives me an opportunity to watch them for awhile. Co-locating a corn spinner and a protein feeder (mine are about 25 yards apart) will in general, increase the time the deer spend at the setup. They will usually try to get a little of both, and if the protein feeder is crowded, hunting down some corn gives them something to do while they wait for the crowd to die down. I used to feed protein free choice, but in my experience feeding free choice the deer stay more nocturnal, and I have a good amount of loss to coons (and loss to hogs on previous places I hunted). With timed protein, I have almost no nighttime trail cam pics, vs probably 50% nighttime pics feeding free choice, and no coon loss. (hell yeah!!!!) Also, feeding free choice, the consumption can get absurd, and the deer will just be lazy and eat protein instead of getting out in the pasture and hustling a little. We average 50 lb/day of protein consumption total between the two feeders open only that couple of minutes morning and evening. In Kimble county, you might be able to do late fall plots (like I do), if you have some soil, spring plots are probably out unless you have irrigation.
