I've seen the local feed store with cottonseed bags, which look like 40# or 50# bags. Is this the best way to buy if you are only filling up a couple of feed stations on a property?

Is the stuff at your local feed store regular cottonseed or delinted? If it's delinted (meaning just a smooth seed) it’s normally pretty pricey and you can’t feed it in a cage. You should be able to find a blended whole cottonseed pellet cheaper than the delinted for sure...but again, can’t feed it in a wired cage setting. Whole cottonseed still has the fuzzy lint on it. That’s what we feed in the wire.Last edited by RascalArms; 10-09-2018, 06:16 PM.

Going to create a shortage and the gins have contracts for the majority of it and sell the surplus to the public. Deer love it and it is about 26% protein, but i think it lacks the right protein to bypass and equate to mass. The deer will be fat for sure.

Hello everyone. I'm brand new to this forum and to the sport of deer hunting as well. I got a promotion at work and I was finally able to save enough money to get my first hunting lease for the 2017-18 season. Ive been wanting to harvest a deer since i was five years old (im 35 now) and unfortunately I wasn't able to get a deer, which I'll share my story whenever im allowed to post new threads. Anyways, for the past year I've been asking questions and doing as much research as I can to help me bag my first deer. During my research I came across interesting topics about the pros and cons of feeding cottonseed. If you have 15min I encourage you to watch this video on youtube. I don't know if it'll be any help, but hopefully it can give everyone some insight, and help their decision. Thanks for everyone's time.
