    Recommendations on protein feed for deer

    Can any recommend a feed and where to get it? Is it to early or late I start protein feeding. Can you mix with corn in feeder?

    If you are using a spin cast feeder don't put protein pellets in it. They have a bad habit of clogging in spin cast feeders. Soy beans are a good high protein alternative for a spin cast. If you have a feeder designed for protein pellets any feed store protein made for deer is just fine. Now is a good time to feed protein - any time outside of hunting season will help with antler development and or unborn fawn development.

      We use a cottonseed meal protein cube mixed 50/50 with corn and feed from our regular spin feeders. We buy it at Rowena Pellet Mill east of San Angelo. I think it's about 28% protein and is a small 1/4" pellet with a mollases added. Don't use any more than 50% ratio to corn or the feeder will clog up.

          It is never to late to start feeding but most people already have. We feed mid Jan through the beginning of October. Might have to mix it with some corn in the beginning to get deer used to it. I wouldn't expect to see much results in the first year.
