Going to pick up so cotton seed and want advice on how to get the deer to start eating it. They have never seen it before on our place. For those that feed it how much do you feed a year. I am on a small place with limited deer numbers so I will only have 2 wire baskets set up to feed them.

Our deer are eating it fast. At this rate I could put out 4k pounds per month.
Anyone have a better plan so the cotton seed doesn't pile up on the ground and get stomped in the dirt? Right now my deer bite it about 2' off the ground and pull through the wire. Every bite causes some to fall on the ground.

Just fill the basket and eventually they'll start. Once they do seems like they prefer it over the corn. Only negative is it has the same effect on cows. All it takes is one to get hooked on it and a regular feeder pen doesn't stand a chance. I'm having to reconfigure mine this year, as I have multiple cows that have aquired a preference for it.
