If they haven’t already been introduced to CS now is probably not the most opportune time to introduce it with all the natural browse available. Plus, you say you have protein as well? Bottom line...they ain’t hungry. I assume you probably have corn too, so with the natural browse, corn and protein there is no need for them to try something new if they don’t need.
Wait until next year and try it again but earlier, say in January, when they are pulled down hard from the winter and most need it. Sprinkle in some corn on top and they will eventually take to it.

Now they clean me out every 2 weeks. I watch a lot of deer go to cottonseed 1st before protein. Give it some time and help it with corn.

For those of you trying to get your deer started on it.... I've been know to put Rice Bran, BB2 or crushed sugar beet powder all over the cottonseed to help get them started as well..Last edited by DamonJ; 05-02-2021, 11:38 AM.

It's been my experience that water needs to be close by... I hunt a small place between George West & Freer Tx and also a large ranch between Freer & Laredo..
