now, the deer are hitting corn pretty good right now. most of their regular forage is burned up. i lease 480 acres, the landowner is already bring hay in. even the cows don't have anything to eat!
Something with more protien is better for this time of the year, if corn is all you have access to they'll still gobble it up though, I usually start about this time of the year just so I can see what's in the area for game cams.
I'm new to the whole "feeding the deer" thing. It's illegal in Ga. What feed with more protein would you suggest?
Sportsman Choice makes a real good blend in pellet form. They make an ok blend in "nugget" form. It lookssimilar in shape to small dog food.
Mix any protein pelleted feed about 1 part pellets to 2 parts corn until deer are readily consuming. Then up to 1-1 ratio and then you can up to 2 parts pellets and 1 part corn if you choose too.

With the prices of corn this year, I think I'm going to start feeding them steak or caviar... it might be cheaper.
is'nt that the truth sure miss that $6 a hundred corn use did'nt mind all the other critters eating it also but crap with $19 hundred
Because that is where I was, that is what I bought just yesterday too. Last year I bought either 40 or 50 lb bags at Academy for $8. It isn't THAT much more from last year, but when you look at the price a few years ago I know it has changed quite a bit, but last year was my first year to buy so I can't tell you specifics on anything further back.
I've heard several people say they just feed year round, or close to it. How many of ya'll do that?
academy was 7.99 last week and wally world is actually cheaper this year a t 8.27. if you have the means to buy in bulk, that is the way to go. the mill in guthrie was the best deal last year for bulk.
