Following…. I have the exact same issue… hogs and a bear showed up and the deer have not been back.
I did switch protein brand in my last fill. Not intentional, but all they had in inventory had some berry scent/extract. Prior to that, hogs didn’t really go after the protein.
When our Bears show up i put honey out seems to help
Like I mentioned in an earlier post this is my first season on a lease. After putting out protein for a couple of weeks I was getting some pretty consistent buck pics. Well the hogs found the protein. No more buck pics, at least not where I’m feeding. Still picking a couple up away from the feed. Besides a pen, any suggestions ? Thanks
You gotta stay on the hogs and shootem in the earhole. Feed pens and traps are better investments than feeding without.
Treeline 16% protein pellets at Tractor Supply. I've tried different ones (Purina, Record Rack, and Top Score) but this is the one the deer hanging around our properties seem to really like
We haven’t been shut down yet, but got a letter expanding burn ban to include mowing, brush hog, or parking/driving off of the main roads…so just about but not quite shut down.

Hopefully yall get some of this rain or some rain real soon.
We took the kids to Gator Country today in Beaumont and came home to some nice heavy stuff in New Waverly. Some of our neighboring ranches that recently brought their hay in looked like scorched earth. If you hadn’t been living in this drought you would have thought they had sprayed herbicide.
Who do yall lease from to get shut out. I haven't heard anything from our boss yet
It's really dangerous right now to be out with equipment. I put out protein on Tuesday shut us down Thursday. Our place is very dry and on top of that the sprayed hundreds of acres

Put the pens up. Don’t do what I did and fight it for years.
First year I put them up, I had a ~130” 10pt that would come in every evening and lay down and sleep for a while inside the pen.
I soon realized and am still seeing that our deer see the pens as sanctuaries from the hogs.

We have a no mowing ruling right now and to be careful where you park if on vegetation.
We had ~1000 acres burn in the 2010-2011 drought and I carry a small fire extinguisher on my SXS now. It was required back then, but just makes sense.
