I did a bunch of these last year after the deer wouldn't use tripod feeders 2 years ago. Said the hell with the feeder arms because they were so aggravating to fill and refill. Went back to tripod feeder back in early may and go figure the deer are using them now. If the deer have seen feeders before or were brought to feeders to eat by their mothers then they will use them no problem. If they have never seen them before most likely it will take them a while to get used to them. Best bet is to get them out as early as possible so the deer can start getting acclimated, but also put a corn pile on the ground within eyesight of the feeder. This will force them to feed and see the feeder off in the distance. Eventually they will start using them
