Have a coworker with Family land with mule deer and whitetail deer. The whitetail deer visit the feeders regularly but while the mule deer visit the feeders some they are not regulars the way whitetaila do.

Was ask is there anything that can be fed that the mulies might become a little more regular.

Alfalfa and maybe shoot all the WT. Mule deer will have basically the same preferences as WT, they just don't like competition.

No. Best thing is winter food plots legumes and winter wheat.

Mulie does will dominate a protein feeder also

They will pile into winter wheat fields regularly. We have noticed they can visit with some regularity at times of the year for cottonseed at the sets. They rarely show up for corn any time of year.

Alfalfa hay in the pens, whole cottonseed and once you get them on free choice protein they will own a feeder.
