Rain will help them? I have heard plenty of HFers say that drought years make for bigger deer, they have no choice except eat protein.
Ours had plenty of browse early but since mid may it sure is dry and yes they do live with their head in the feeder. We have fed a lot of cotton seed this year and they seem to do well on it.
We feed on both sides of the fence and they are eating a ton, actually several tons. Although we hear others say that low rain makes for bigger deer, we would sure love to have a good rain year, it has been quite a while.

I agree. We'd love to see a good general rain. It has to help the does with fawns.
