You are better off using protein pellets for your deer during the summer rather than corn. Corn is 6-8% protein versus 20- 22% protein in the deer protein pellets. The protein pellets are made of alfalfa. The deer do not need corn in the summer. They need it in the winter when it is cold. Corn is a carbohydrate which helps them stay warm. I feed protein pellets during July, August and until mid September. I start corn AND protein pellets around Mid December and feed until March 1 then quit until July. Why just these 2 times????? Because these two times are the most stressful times in the whitetails life cycle. Antler King Protein pellets from Ross Seed Co. in El Reno 405/262-3456 is a good protein pellet to use.
Excellent advice!
More protein= bigger racks in the fall.
Around my area where its all ag, and the alfalfa fields grow all spring summer and fall, + bean fields every where, get the nutrition to them without supplemtal feeding in the spring.
