Started cottonseed today

[AntlerCollector]

How do you store it when you buy it by the ton?

I put it all out. I have two stand sites and two baskets at each site. They hold about 500 lbs each.

We put it all out and leave it out year round, bred doe need a head start, same with worn out bucks, works for us

[Kossetx]

Yes.


I wouldn’t recommend it because it would be hard to build something out of chain link that the deer could push around to eat it all. 2x4 welded wire and a t-post is about the cheapest way to go. I’d personally recommend a little more study wire though.

I have a plan.

I'll post results when I'm done.

About how big of a basket?

Whatever happened to this experiment? Where are the pics?

The deer aren't touching it.

On our ranch it took them about 2 weeks to take to it. Then they loved it.

Same Here, I put some corn on top and some trophy rock attractant to entice them, just took a bit to get interested, but when they did, they hit it hard!!

ours in bulk is $280 per ton

takes about 6 months for them to take to it

They’re consuming about a 1000 lbs a month right now on our place. Started feeding it in February. Started eating immediately. Noticeable growth increase, mass, points, length.
Highly recommended. (South Texas brush country)

The deer in my area were 30+ lbs heavier than other bucks killed on my lease. I believe it’s all because of the cottonseed.
