My daughter took a nice one last year and I got a good one the year before during the rut. Her's was at feeder eating. Mine was following a doe that was coming to the feeder. As for the term Big Boy...I think full grown bucks act more or less the same. A feeder has a tendency of causing deer to use the area as part of their normal route of travel. Often I see deer passing through the area with no intention of using the feeder. Just my experience and opinion fully aware deer go where the want. A doe in season makes mature bucks want to go there.
