Suckers have been killing our feeders. I think the wife has 6 that she makes sure I keep full. The apple tree has had 14 Cardinals in it at one time with each feeder full of them. I got whole peanuts at a peanut farm in Oklahoma. Damn blue jays destroy the peanuts. We have gone through 50 pounds so be November, but the peanuts keeps them away from the other feeders. 11 deer at the feeder one day and we saw 13 long beards stroll through the yard a couple weeks ago. All the bucks but a couple have dropped already.
