Tealboy....Try Blue Seal "Coarse 14"....it is a sweet feed that they can't resist. They will hit it all year....It's like crack for deer. And it is cheap. $8 for a 40lb bag.

I did the same exact thing and they were gone the next week to. Maybe rotten apples are the way to go!!!

well guys i have had deer activity at my feeder now for about 2 weeks and had to go and refill it yesterday. i found the salt block i had out was knocked over and it was about half of what it was when i put it out this spring. also the deer had killed all the grass in about a 1-2 yard circle around the feeder.
last year i had constant activity where i had it but it was only one doe and her fawn that came every other day now it is in a bottleneck between two woods where is shot my deer last year and went through 3 bags of corn in 3 weeks where as last year i went through 3 bags of corn in the whole summer. so i think position has alot to do with it as someone previously said

cwtaylor.....any farmers exchange or feed store will have it or can get it if you ask them to.

RE: Feeder out, but no game
 

I recently installed a feeder at my camp. One of the locals near my camp stopped by to tell hunting stories. I asked him if he minded me picking up some of the loose corn that his harvester missed or dropped in his field. He had no problem with this. I stopped down later that day with a burlap bag on the back of my four wheeler. He came out of the barn and handed me a bag of mix he uses as a suplement for his black angus. His comment was: "this will get your new feeder started." Let me tell you, everything in the woods was at the feeder the following week when I went up to camp. The mix he gave me had molasses mixed with oats and a mix of other feed. The sweet smell of molasses lured game in like kids to a cotton candy stand. I purchased a 50# bag at the feed store and spike the feeder when we are at camp. It doesn't take long for the woods to come alive.
