I recently installed a feeder at my camp. One of the locals near my camp stopped by to tell hunting stories. I asked him if he minded me picking up some of the loose corn that his harvester missed or dropped in his field. He had no problem with this. I stopped down later that day with a burlap bag on the back of my four wheeler. He came out of the barn and handed me a bag of mix he uses as a suplement for his black angus. His comment was: "this will get your new feeder started." Let me tell you, everything in the woods was at the feeder the following week when I went up to camp. The mix he gave me had molasses mixed with oats and a mix of other feed. The sweet smell of molasses lured game in like kids to a cotton candy stand. I purchased a 50# bag at the feed store and spike the feeder when we are at camp. It doesn't take long for the woods to come alive.
