Deer still hitting your protein?

[Bish]

I have feed protein for 2 years now, I do a 14% protein mix with alfalfa pellets and corn, deer was tearing it up until about 2 weeks ago, now nothing is hitting them. Am I the only person that this is happening to, Young county?

God Bless

It’s green right now. They are eating the new growth

[luv2hunt]

It has slowed way down for us also

[Beerdonga]

The new green tastes better. It will burn up soon.

Always slows down this time of year. In the next month or so when fawns hit the ground the doe will start hitting it good. Bucks usually wait until horns start to show.

[Kenner97]

Really slow for us as well. Filled feeders middle of february and still 3/4 full. Really green and they normally start hitting it hard again in May.

[Lynn21]

Same here in Childress area. They went green.

[N.DaWoods]

Not eating cottonseed anymore.

They are wearing us out but we're dry!

[bloodtrailer28]

Just smile and enjoy it while it lasts! They will start eating it again before to long

[Joe91009]

Same here

Just got back from Fowlerton about an hour ago.... protein was wiped out !!!
But it is DRY, terrible dry

[twosixteens]

Just across the road from ya they slowed way down on protein as well but usually do this time of year if it isn’t too dry

[deerwatcher51]

They have slowed a bit on ours. We got 2.7 inches the other week and things are starting to green out.

[E.TX.BOWHUNTER]

They are always hitting it occasionally at my place. They never stay on it hard.

[dirtybay]

I'm thankful for some God grown green as my bank green has been hit hard feeding so much protein. Ill enjoy the break for now.

[RMW]

They are hammering protein right now down south, dry as a bone though. No rain since Late January

[HYDRO_69]

They slowed down in Erath County, due to the green growth. They have only consumed about 250 lbs over the last month.

[MUZZYSLINGR]

Got lots of fresh green growth here too.

That being said they are still cleaning out my protein feeders every 3 days.

Mine pretty much stopped hitting anything. I've shut down to probably 1 sec to feed the coons lol.

[Smart]

Mine are out west but we are just starting to get some green up. That freeze set us back some.

[8pointer]

Deer are hammering our protein south of San Angelo

[ren087]

My feeder in ETX is empty and they are still sticking their noses in it...along with the **** coons playing on it like a jungle gym!!

[Cliff Dog]

We are also seeing a slowdown on our protein consumption in the last few weeks

[Fmjag64]

Cant hardly keep the feeders full. Whole Corn and Whole Soybean, 16% mix.

[JFFB]

Now's the time you want to put out Mineral Trace blocks. Get mine from Tractor Supply.

Man it is dry, we are just down the road from you. They are killing all feed, protein, alfalfa and cottonseed.

I’m gonna need a 2nd job soon.

Same for us.

[Barrett]

Yep!!!

[BiggieSmalls]

I'm about to go top things off.. We are going through 3 tons of cottonseed and 4.5 tons of protein in Webb a month, it's so **** dry and the freeze set back a lot of the native browse. The black brush and guajillo branches are still bare. Mesquite and cactus look good though, lol..

[gingib]

No too much fresh green growth

[Mike Fangman]

Yep, since the green up, protein consumption on our place, has slowed way down.

[Shortybang]

We hunt just outside of Eldorado. Our protein consumption has went way down with the green growth coming out. The deer have pretty much stopped eating corn totally.
