What do you feed?

Ricebran, Cotton Seed, Or Alfalfa?

I feed corn year round in antler growing season Feburary through late September I put Antler King mixed with cotton seed meal in my protein feeders I also plant 3 plots with oats, wheat, & winter peas for the season. I used to plant spring plots but they don't make it through our dry summers.

Corn & alfalfa pellets

I live in flour bluff and have access to a lot of crystal meth. I've found sprinkling a small amount on top of the protein feeders really keeps the deer lively and coming back for more.

Buck Crack works well also

We feed corn year round and 20% protein.

I feed lead to to those deer that need to go to keep numbers under control. I feed 20% protein free choice and spin corn year round to the survivors.

20% free choice from march to aug.... Corn from Sept to Feb

Alfalfa, protein, corn, and cottonseed -

X2.

22% free choice protein pellets January - August with roasted soy bean/corn in spin feeders, then corn September - December in the spin feeders.

Corn and milo mix.

Hey your in my neck of the woods...

100% free choice grass and browse year around. Add a little corn to the diet when season gets close

Free choice grass? I always heard it was Oak Leaves dang now I am gonna have to plow under all those forbes and plant grass.

My deer are built like me...they only wish they could reach those oak leaves

Broader than taller

20% protein (Red Chain Mills) free choice....
Corn & Soybean mix in spin feeders...
Also have some corn gravity feeders outside of the pen (when the cows are rotated off the property)
Started using a salt lick this year...curious to see how much they use it....

Things I've tried that didn't work....
- peanut butter, Chaffhaye, (insert every kind of attractant ever made here...deer cocaine, krave, etc....)...anything new I add seems to spook them...

Spin = corn year round
Free Choice = 50/50 16% protein and roasted soy year round
Fall Plot = 5 acres oats wheat rye turnips
Spring Plot = 5 acres soybeans lablab sorghum.
+\- rice bran

Stampede - a mix of soybean and corn pretty much year round.

next time you're in the feed store, ask them what type of goat feeds they have. Most of them run 18 - 22% protein and there ususally cheaper than buying the "deer" feed.

Not many goats are grown for antler growth. That feed will be cheaper since it will not have the mineral/vitamin package that whitetails need. Cheaper priced feeds are cheaper for a reason.

I live for the day someone mentions BUCK CRACK! Thanks RojoChevy!

I feed:
-corn spin feeder all year round
-20 % protein free choice all year
-spring food plots of: soy beans, texas peas, buck wheat, sunflower
-winter plots of: wheat, rye grass, clover, turnips
-have a pear tree, pecan tree and apple tree planted at the edge of my plots. Everyone likes desert after dinner.

From February til they shed the velvet off their alters I feed golden nuggets from a spin cast. Afterwards I feed 50% golden nuggets and 50% corn. They seem to like the sweetness of the protein

I have found that the protein molasses tubs we put out for the cows the deer destroy them and they ate full of protein and minerals. They are like 20 gallon tubs maybe. But man they work great for the deer and water don't hurt it much and they last a loooooooong time!
