Yes I have used it and the way that it works for me is to first use it as a top dressing on corn,black oil sunflower seeds, then I'll put a little pile of it right next to the feed.But you normally use it to mix with other feed.

The delivery of the nutrient is what is important.. With the market for deer nutrition, believe me, if the horse stuff was as good as the co-op folks say, they'd fence some deer and prove they have something equal to the deer nutrition products and cheaper and make a million$$$. It don't work that way. Co-ops are in the business of stock, to them the deer is a pest. I would bet 99.99% of those who work in the c0-ops haven't got a clue about a deers nutritional needs.

The feed store where I worked the #1 feed sold for animals were deer.We mixed our own feed.and the super 6 is primarily for bone develpoment in cattle and horses.Our customers including myself use the stuff for deer because it seemed to help.Plus if we thought that the deer were pests.Then why would more than half of the workers are deer hunters.I agree tha some Co-op's are that way.But do not generalize all feed stores.

I can appreciate your position, but how do you know what is good to mix for the deer if you do not have data to support it? There are generic blends but the deer breeders and showmen like Richard English require a specific blend.

In my opinion there is no one right way.because in my feeling is that a northern deer needs to eat more than a southern deer because of weather condtions.So being that the nortern deer needs food that will have a higher protein levels.Plus free roaming deer will depend on natural foods.farm raised deer have been fed custom deer feeds.Just like we have many horse farmers having different feeds that they have for their horses.same thing with cattle farmers.So look at that way.I'm no expert,but my experiances are different than the next guy.Just because the deer farmer has his feed does not mean it will work with every other deer out their.Just remember what you said."the deer breeders".
