RE: Feeding Deer How Much
I think it depends on where you are and the winter foliage they have available. Where we hunt we have anaverage of 12 inches of rain a year. Deer have the instincts to survive and they know what they can eat to survive even if it is not necessarily nutritious, however we use supplimental feed that way it is beneficial not only to grow bigger horns but also to improve nutrition for the over all herd, as well as doe's that will give birth in the spring. If you are going to feed I would suggest some sort of supplement high in protein. As I said earlier we average 12 inches of rain in a good year, with an average of about 20-25 deer that come to my feeder some everyday some every other day I usually feed 3 to 4 hundred pounds offeed a week. This is just an example of where I hunt I am sure it is very different everywhere.
