East Texas supplemental feeding

[Snowflake Killa]

I have tried free choice protein with no interest.



Mixed some rice bran in and they would eat it but the rice bran clogs up everything



Anybody had good results with East Texas deer and free choice feed?

No problem here

I have had pretty good luck with M&G apple flavored 16% feed and L&E as well. Normally I start with 25% Corn and Soybean mixed in with the protein, then next fill just run straight protein. I have the protein feeder in a pen with a corn feeder so the deer are there daily. Seems they hammer it the best from now until April or so, best of luck.

Have to see if the feedstore has it

No place close to buy bulk that I know of

May just need to put up hog panels around your feeders.

Tractor Supply in Orange has quit carrying Record Rack, so I went with sweet feed. The deer have ate it before. We will see. I felt compelled to feed them, they are keeping the food plots down very low. I haven't feed protein in years, but it seems the deer need it this season.

Checked tube height and it was right where I was told to put it so I bought a bag of all stock and a bag of corn, already had it loaded when I spotted the corn and roasted soybean mix so I may try that next instead of straight corn

I put a camera on it so should know what if anything is eating it

[Spiderpig1776]

its trial and error but yes they will eventually eat it

[BTLowry]

Nothing eating it yet

I’d try putting the protein feeder away from your corn feeder with no pressure on it. I’ve got 5 on LF in Nacogdoches county and the one that is by itself and in thick cover gets hit about 30% more than the others.

I put out alfalfa for the first time this year. I used it as an attractant and my deer hammered it.

Alfalfa? Always wondering if the deer in that area would eat it. Put out the cotton seed from tractor supply a couple weeks ago and have pics of them eating it. Then the hogs tore into my feed pin and cleaned it out.. This is Northern Newton county 10 miles east of Jasper.

I'm on a lease in Newton off of CR.1012. I've been thinking about using cotton seed as a supplement but with the amounts of rain we get I went against it. No matter what I go with, coons and hogs will be a problem. Even with a feeder pen.
