We’ve been running three 2000 lb protein feeders for 5 years on our place. Have to fill them several times between now and sept.

Put it in black rubber bowl on the ground not a tub but a black rubber bowl. Only like 4” sides
If you have been trying for a while you might put some corn on the ground so they will come to the area. You have to think like a deer!
They, would rather eat off the ground not stick their nose in a tube for something they have never eaten. As y’all all know deer are Leary of anything different. But when it is open on the ground in a bowl they will try it and then they will go looking for it because they have eaten it before with no pressure.

Did 50/50 corn / antlermax starting in late december / january and they have been pounding it ever since.
I think the protein on the ground is a good idea, also think starting protein early while food is scarce helps them pick up on it faster. We still had corn feeders running and the deer used to getting food around the feeder pens, so a little change was easy for them.
