Not sure what you’re buying but as of last week CS was 360-380 a ton.
Some of the prices I got were 400/ton
RHR protein is around 445/ton from the last time I checkedLast edited by kyle1974; 05-02-2021, 07:17 PM.

We don't let it go dry, the ranch owner is frequent in visiting the ranch, LOL, he's retired. He loves doing these kind of things. I can only think that the 700gal troughs only get about 1/2 way before he is filling them. To be specific to you question, it depends on the deer density and how frequent you can check them.. Water is the main ingredient in south Texas! Good question!

Jason86,
Again water is the main ingredient to attracting deer! We even have little 50gal water troughs through the ranch, but you have to keep the deer honest by keeping them filled. Trust me the deer will come if there is not a near by water source. Go to google earth and view your hunting area for near by tanks/water sources. If there is none within a mile radius you may have a deer magnet by keeping water on your ranch. Good luck & this is fun stuff that we do!!!!

A year?
I hunt two ranches in south Texas and this particular ranch was right at 200 acres (For the wife and I only). It is low fenced and my deer density is very high. In one sitting we saw a total of 30 deer, again it's low fenced surrounded by other bigger ranches. I know the ranch owner is out there at lease every two weeks checking on the water troughs. My best advice is to have a plan of going every month like you said and do what you can to proved water (budget) for the deer and make adjustments from there. In the area you hunt "water" will be your best investment. Might also get some covers for the water to prevent evaporation to help the water last longer if that makes sense.. I like your enthusiasm on drawing/holding deer!!!
