I am enlarging my pin this year, and currently only have a protein feeder in it, (I have 2 corn feeders outside of it about 90 yards in opposite directions). I am wanting to add a cotton seed cage, but was wondering what else you all have in yours that I might not think of. I also have a salt block in there that they haven’t touched in a year. Thanks

Seems like pockets of deer react differently to food

I freaked my deer out dropping pears in the pen, maybe I went too hard but I tossed about 50 in there. They wouldn't eat them and I had less activity in the pen. Actually went and picked them all up a week later

Now my deer will devour that Big and J supplement you pour on the ground. It aint cheap so I will only put it out 3-4 times a year per feeder but in 2 days its all gone

I put a cotton seed cage in my pen about 2 weeks ago. The deer definitely stayed on the other side of the pen and would not go near it. Had a 4 pointer that was curious and did check it out after about 10 days. Hoping they get used to it soon.

This year I added a block feeder (holds 2 blocks) and load it with BB&J blocks. The deer devour a block on the ground within about 3 days (no rain and no hogs) based on cameras. That's why I added a block feeder. It took about a week but now mainly bucks are hitting the block in the raised feeder on a T post. As got more into winter and continued drought they hit the blocks even harder

They will and when they do, you will have created a "monster".

block feeder mounted to a t-post??? have any pictures of that set up???
