Any of you feeding this and if so do you like it? We've been feeding this a few years now. Havent noticed any difference and it takes a while for them to eat it even mixed with corn. We were thinking of switching to Lyssy & Eckle or the infamous double down.

I will NOT use Full-o-pep protein. The deer do not want to eat it. Our deer herd loves the Lyssy & Eckel protein. Lyssy & Eckel protein has everything in it so you won't need to feed anything else. The Full-o-pep pellets I tried were maybe old because they molded in the feeder within a month. I had been feeding L&E in my protein feeders and the feeders were just about out and I filled with the F-o-p and the deer did not want it. As soon as I cleaned out the 3 feeders and refilled with L&E the deer were back and eating it quickly again.

So, no on the full o pep, correct? What about a 16% soybean corn mix, any real benefit? Paying $10 a bag. Any other suggestions? Can't get L&E around me.

I used to get protein from 'Rockin' R' feed in Glen rose. They've recently closed shop. I cant remember the name, but it smelled like peanut butter. Had peanut hulls compressed in pellet form. Threw fine out of a spincast feeder and deer tore that stuff up. Wish I could find it. Anybody?

I get it in Dilley where they make it feed about 14 tons every 5-6 weeks

man that’s $62,000 a year if you get DD for .26 a pound. That’s a hefty protein bill

Our feed bill was right at 100k last year DD does not include the other protien or some of the other things we feed.
