Default Feeding Deer

Corn works well, but if your coons and hogs are eating it you will go broke feeding corn. You might consider trapping some of your hogs and coons. You might give rice bran a try, not sure if hogs like it. Also, when it gets cold, horse feed works real well too. Good news though, when the acorns start dropping you just need to find some trees that are dropping with deer crap underneath and you will be golden. Deer will walk over a corn pile getting to a good acorn crop. Unlike corn where the deer can feed and be done in five minues, deer have to hunt and peck a little bit more for acorns and it causes them to move longer into the mornings and evenings. While all your buddies are sitting over there corn piles come mid-October, you will be putting the smack on them if you find some hot acorn trees. You'll know a good tree when you find it as the leaves will be all churned up and there will be deer crap everywhere. Good luck.
