I recently added some metal to the bottom of our 1,000lb All Seasons trough feeder to prevent the turkeys from eating. See the pictures on page 5 of the following thread:
Before installing these, the protein consumption had greatly reduced, which might have been due to the cottonseed and all of the rainfall (6" plus). I installed these metal pieces almost 1 month ago and the feed level was only down 12" or so. First, do you guys think these metal pieces are preventing the deer from eating or do you think we have a bad batch of protein? Normally, they go through 1,000lbs in about 4weeks at this feeder. Not sure what's going on here. Maybe it's due to all of the green forage. Just thought it was strange.
