      We starting using it 2 years ago and our deer made a huge jump so we havn't stopped using it. We have 5-2500 lbs feeders and we pay $420 Ton with a gas surcharge of $125 and $150 delivery fee.

                  They deliver to us in bags. 3000# per week is what we feed and could feed more we just limit them. It's expensive at that rate.

                    Based on the prices posted above for L&E, bulk can save you between $75 and $125 per ton. I know a lot of folks are not set up for bulk delivery, but it has been a life saver for my back....

                      FYI...they sell L & E in Cranfills Gap at Gap Ranch Supply. Super nice folks. You can't miss the store. Right off Highway 22 by the gas station.

                        We just bought our second round of protein for our place... It's amazing how fast they got on this L&E protein... They are loving it. We have trail cams on it now and the deer are killing these feeders! It's awesome. We never have fed it before, I always wanted to... Then when the rest of the family that hunts out there started seeing how much the deer were on it, they jumped on board quick! It took some convincing... However I know that the first year of protein isnt going to make a huge difference, I don't want to tell them that though haha! On the other hand I am optamistic, because these deer have never had the healthier food, so one way or another its going to show some benefits this year I think even if its just a few more lbs on the deer...

                          It will definitely increase their body size as well. When I first started feeding protein the heaviest buck we killed, weighed in at 162 lbs. Two years later we killed one over 200lbs. Even in some of these drought years, they are still over 190 lbs at the beginning of the season. The heaviest killed so far was a cull 6 point that went 212 lbs. I love seeing those big ole fatties strutting around at the beginning of the season.

                            Just put 1500lbs out on the first and can't wait to get out there to see how they are taking the switch from Antlermax.

                                L&E is some great protein. Our deer are going through 1,000 lbs every 3 weeks.
