Default RE: deer feed pellets

I started mixing pellets in with corn in a gravity feeder in late winter a few years back and after a few monthsjust straight pellets.The deer which had previously not ever seemed to eatanything else but corn kept eating the pellets.They will empty a feeder of pellets now any time of the year. According to top biologists,high protein and mineralpellets are the best helpto growhealthy, quality deer. I have definately seen a major increase in antler growth as the area that I hunt has scarce quality natural browse. The pellets are about twice the price of corn but it is well worth it as long as it is in some sort of feeder that does not waste it.
