They sure like to eat them. We poured out 5 - 55 gallon drums of whole, dry peanuts Sunday for the deer. We just pick out a hard area, usually in the middle of the woods road, and pour out a pile and kick them around. A guy in the club knows a driver for one of the Co-Ops and there is usually a bunch of peanuts in the botton of the semi that doesn' t dump out good, so we get them free.
