Chaffhaye Feeding Questions

[lilbradford]

We are on a lease just off Brady lake and have a solid amount of Axis in the area. We cannot hold them though. We will get pictures for a few days and that’s it. We have water and plenty of corn feeders but we are wanting to start feeding alfalfa or the molasses coated Chaffhaye. My question is how the heck are y’all feeding this? We want to feed this continually like you would protein/corn etc. I’ve seen some people just say throw it on the ground but I figured that would spoils

I fed it in East tx a while for whitetail but I found that regular old alfalfa worked better and is cheaper. They even eat it wet. I do cover mine now, but first few years I used either a hay bag or bent cattle panel hung from a tree

In Junction, we mix Chaffhaye with regular alfalfa. After breaking up the bale, just throw some alfalfa in the hay feeder, sprinkle some chaff, add a layer of alfalfa, and so on.
Just so you know, we started doing this to attract axis but the whitetail devour it. They would be loaded up at the hay feeder and axis would be on corn.

Go figure. I’m just trying to increase the amount of food available regardless. I’ll try and hopefully our axis have a sweet tooth!

Just an FYI, it’s not molasses coated unless you’re doing the coating. It’s “haylage”, so the sweet smell is from fermentation.

Dang, I just read something that said it was molasses coated. 3rd party so I guess the wrong info. Thanks
