Just wondering if anyone has used a soy bean and corn mix in a spin cast feeder, and how it’s worked for you? Will a spin cast handle it okay? Any problems with it? Did the deer start eating the beans quickly?
I run the roasted soybean/corn mix thru our All Seasons feeders.
Flows well and is thrown just as well as the corn is.
Do the deer go nuts for it? No
Do they eat it? Yes
I have it in 5 of the 11 feeders we have going and deer activity is pretty close to the same at all feeders
Turkey, at least on our place, go absolutely insane and definitely come-a-runnin when those soybeans hit the ground
I have fed in in spin feeders for about 6 years with no issue. They eat the beans but I cannot tell you they prefer it but it obviously has more nutritional value than straight corn so it cant hurt. I started using it to get the deer on protein and did not want to buy multiple types of feed so I just started using it in the broadcast feeders as well.
I am honestly not sure it would be worth the additional cost if that's all you are using it for.
You wont gain much protein value from a spin cast feeder, use straight corn.
Any value is better than corn?
We are only feeding protein during this drought.
All seasons and free choice.
When we get a chance, not consistently. I will try
Some in Goliad next trip
