That is fine for the deer but, if you have turkey feeding in the same area it will posion them. Crack corn will work for both, I put out high protien sweet feed in a covered feeder, it has all the vitamins and some of the minerals deer need. I also have a mineral block close by that I burried a year ago, you would swear I have hogs rooting. If you are going to feed them, you might as well give them something that will benefit them and you.
