I tried using pellet feed specially for deer and they totally ignored it.I also tried an apple flavored pellet type feed and again they wanted nothing to do with it.I put out cracked corn and they could'nt get enough over the winter.I was beginning to think I would be able to take them off my taxes.I went thru about 300 pounds of corn and was rewarded with a shed antler laying next to the feeder.
I experienced this same thing. I also tried soybeans with them just rotting beneath the feeder.
Both pellets and soybeans were mixed with corn. the corn would get ate but not the otheres except by crows, squirrels,birds and raccoons. That stuff is too expensive if they don't eat it.
Ditto Ditto Ditto!!! Have heard lots of people say corn is no good, but it is the only thing they eat up here too!! Bought the expensive Purina deer pellets and several others and the deer let it lay and rot! I think pellet food must only work on pen deer cause alot of people say it does not work on wild deer.
