I'll feed my deer and the few turkeys I have up until 15 days before turkey season opens. You can feed them year round. You just better not get caught turkey hunting on the corn. I have afeeder going right now with a corn-wheat mix. You think corn is expensive? Wheat costs over two times more than corn for a 50 pound bag. Believe me I use corn more than wheat these days. Of course the animals don't rely on supplemental feed in the winter like they may in areas up north. No snow down here to cover a food source. The corn does give them a little extra through the winter though.
