I hate finding deer with a bazillion ticks on them. Can’t be good. I don’t buy the idea that worming deer may create immunity problems. What I know for sure is that deer without wormer can be loaded with internal and external parasites. Reducing or eliminating that can only help just like w any mammal

    Amen....

      Yes we do it but before you get all ready to do it, get a sample of your deer droppings, (must be fresh, you have 5 days from time of sample to having it checked). Take this sample to L/E and they will run it to see if you have the need for the medicated protein. If you do, then L/E will tell you how to feed it.
      I think the way we did it was.....You will need to fill your protein feeders about 1/3 full, or they will tell you how much of the medicated protein, (nothing else in it) and let the deer eat....once it is gone go back to regular protein....

          We do it 4 times a year, the owner is a Veterinarian and checks samples before and after, we do see the difference.

            Why would you say that? Absolutely not.

                You kill all the unhatched eggs with the first round, come back in another 2-3 weeks and do it again to kill off the rest. We do that twice, guess it’s only twice a year but do it 4 times.

                    We started feeding the wormer in the spring also. Think this is our second year to do it. We get ours in Mexico same type as Elgato uses figure it cant hurt. we have been feeding protein for many years thinks it makes pretty big difference in heard. Wish I could afford to feed more.

                      Good information we may think about implementing this on our feeding in February so they can recover from the stresses of winter and the rut.

                        I didn't know you could get this. I will absolutely do this after the season is over. I was trying to figure out a way to spray the wild deer with permethrin effectively. Thanks.

                            Great feed with proven results! Nothing wrong with that!

                              We feed it this year for the first time. Didn't notice any difference at all . We did 2 times about a month apart.
