Hey guys, I was wondering what would be the best way to feed my deer on my land without going broke I want them to stay on my property. I have choices to feed them corn or plant apples then worrying about the trees dying . Please give advice.

Corn has went up in price in the last couple years and right now a 50 pound bag is between 8-10 bucks, depending on where you live. This is much more expensive than in the past. I would say your best bet is corn though. Apple trees require a lot of care and as saplings the deer love to chew them until they are nothing but planted sticks, so if you do plant them, read up on trimming, pollination (you can use crab apples to pollinate other apple trees), and most importantly protect them from the deer so they can eventuallymature and produce fruit. If you dont want to dump a bag of corn and have it gone in 2 days, you might wanna look into a timed feeder.

I was looking into feeding this year also here in stafford va corn is 10. per 50lbs I saw a nice little home feeder in a post here is a pic. This is from a post joebogey made in trail camera. looks easy to make.Hope joe dont mind using his pic but I thought it was a great idea.

Hey guys I was gone at the store thanks for tips, I was thinking feeders but in the long run would food plots be better

Wow!! Corn in pa is 11 dollars per hundred pounds

You'd be better off planting white ladino clover...

corns $4.05 a bushel here. if i was you i would go with corn over apples.

Arkansas corn is $5.70 a hundred, back in the early fall it was 6.50 per hundred.

acorns, natural browse, mushrooms, all free!
