Curious as to what would be better to feed at my place in Oklahoma. I own 70 acres in Choctaw County and I'm currently running 3 corn feeders. I have about 8 to 10 does/yearling/spikes hitting my feeders right now, but I would like something that is going to keep the bucks around and just bring more deer in in general.
I was looking at throwing a free choice tube that I have on one of my feeders and possibly feeding protein or rice bran pellets. But after reading and doing some research I see I can get buck ration and rice bran pellets for the same price. And, the buck ration I can throw in my feeders without changing anything.
Buck Ration:
16% protein
8% fat
5% fiber
Rice Bran Pellet:
12.5% protein
10% fat
12% fiber
Both at $.192 per pound, buck ration sold in 50# bag and rice bran pellets in a 40# bag.
I want something that isn't going to break the bank, will be better than corn for the deer, and something easy to feed them.
Thoughts between the 2?
