[QUOTE="undeg01, post: 3609072, member: 26476"] I’ve always just fed corn starting in mid-September. Corn is high in carbohydrates and when deer digest it, it actually increases their body temperature, so they tend to lay off of it in the hotter summer months. Not saying they don’t eat it, but their feeding doesn’t usually pick up considerably until it cools down a little. I am feeding Double Down protein this year and have been very impressed with the results I’m getting. It is my intention to establish more clover / perennial food plots, then go with a winter wheat mix for winter food plots. I’d like to get less reliant on feeders and create a better year round habitat and food choices for deer and turkey. Protein feed is expensive and as mentioned previously, they go through it fast when free feeding. The bucks hitting my main 600 lb feeder cleaned it out in just 3 weeks this time. Thus the push to get more free, or cheaper sources of protein through food plots. [/QUOTE]
