[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1187243, member: 5412"] I've always said that if corn were grown in one field, and milo grown in the other, the deer will head to the milo. In my feeders, I'll do a 75/25 mix. Mainly corn, as the milo will just run out the feeder hole if its in too high of a concentration. I buy my corn in bulk, so there are sometimes stalks left in there that will plug up the feeder. I've got soy beans planted now in a food plot. with antler growth starting, the deer need all the protein and minerals they can get. Purina makes a supplement that is really high in protein and minerals that should be fed from about mid May to The end of Sept if one wants really good antler growth. The guy at the feed store was pretty much right on when he said to spray the bags with tempo to keep the bugs off. There is no substitute that can be purchased at Lowes. Tempo has a long lasting residual effect that will kill bugs for quite awhile. Its kind of expensive, but it is OK for use in food preperation areas according to the lable on the bottle. I have to buy Tempo at the COOP elevator. I'm guessing if you can't find Tempo, Sprinkling 7 dust on, around, and inbetween the bags would be better than nothing at all. [/QUOTE]
