[QUOTE="Oklahomabassin, post: 1231583, member: 1546"] When you run your feeders and what you put in em, depends on what your goal is. If you are primarily wanting to keep deer on your place during hunting season you need to have em up and going before your neighbor. Corn during the winter is usually going to be sufficient. If you are wanting better deer (bigger deer) supplemental feeding year around will be more beneficial. In general March, April, May, June, July, August, September a higher source of protein will be beneficial as well as minerals. Some commercial feed companies have a pellet manufactured for deer. I would recommend mixing with corn when putting in feeders to get deer accustomed to eating pellets. The pellets usually have some calcium, and phosphorous in them. If you are in a high agriculture area, where wheat and alfalfa fields are common in the winter, you can go straight corn in the winter to cut back on expense. All deer feeding in a natural free roaming habitat should be a supplemental feeding and not used to raise the carrying capacity of the habitat. [/QUOTE]
