Does anyone know of somewhere near Ballinger where I could buy bulk load black-eyed peas? I'm talking about shelled peas, here. We used them one year on a former lease in Brady and the deer absolutely loved 'em! After that year, however, we were never able to find them again. It's been said that they're an excellent form of protein... Anywhere close to the Dallas metroplex would be good, as well.

i used ta get them in san saba and the deer there wouldnt touch em , but deer taste buds very a bunch from area to area , ya mite try cattle range cubes , deer love em , but so do the cows = (

Has anyone tried pinto beans?

Never tried Pintos, taco. But at least you could smell 'em coming! All jokes aside... I've been reading that using shelled soybeans in your protein feeder is very effective, as well.

I refuse to feed high dollar protein until I own land. But yes the peas should work. Im just looking at trying new feeds to see if there is something they prefer and prefer quickly.

Dubar seed in Coleman has Pea Splits. Cant remember the Price though. 325-625-4005

Tried Pinto beans once, everytime I thought I heard a buck grunt its was just a coon farting

Try KN Feed store in Ballinger. They are just behind the grocery store there on Hwy 67 @ Hwy 158. They just might have the peas!

This time of year, you might wanna put down some turnips too! They may make it before any frost hits. At least if the deers don't eat the peas & turnips.... YOU CAN along with a batch of cornbread and some sweet milk!

my dad planred winter peas for the first time in east tx and he said that they passed the corn up to eat them does not buy in bulk but they are 5 dollars a bag for 50 lbs they suppose to keep through the frost to

I may have to try it

Black-eyed peas? How much are they?

I afraid I would start eating them right along with the deer... --- Man, black-eyed peas with some ham hocks, with a few japelenos thown in, along with some corn bread --- Dang, I may have that tonight!

Dang it DCS now I'm gonna have to go home and cook some up myself. Little honey on the cornbread, Man Oh Man.

if you cant find black eyes call pied piper mills in hamlin texas and invest in their soybean/corn mixture...it is great and will bring'em in post rut...we put some in our feeders after christmas one year and the deer flocked to them..

I try to plant about 5 lbs. of black eyed peas in the garden every spring. Only way to keep the deer from eating them is to fence off a section. They are hard enough on the plants but once they make peas, they will wipe them out in a day or two.
