    From April til the end of June, they had hit our protein hard. We were filling five different 300lb free choice feeders every two weeks.

    Right at the end of June first of July, it slowed down incredibly.

      Deer are hammering protein at our place in San Saba. Put out 30 bags week and a half ago. Over half gone this week. Been on it hard for awhile now.

          You need bigger feeders!

            Mine seem to have slowed down on the pellets but are hitting the cottonseed harder.

              3k pounds a month. They are eating every drop in 4 weeks. Last year my feeders were lasting 6 weeks. They have hit it hard this summer in Gillespie County. Like most we have plenty of natural forage this year but the bucks have hammered the protein.

                    June/July been strangely slow for me. We have had a 12 month monsoon and some new clear cuts, figure that has a lot to do with it. Have went from 2 tons a month (2 feeders) to less than a ton this year (in mountains)

                    My river bottom deer are about the same though.

                        July and August are always big months for us for both protein and cottonseed. The big bucks dominate the protein feeders and the younger bucks and does hammer the cottonseed feeders.
