RE: deer feed
We tried some mixed with corn in timed feeders and didn't have any luck getting the deer to eat it. It laid on the ground and molded. In a enclosed, dry trough type feeder it would probably be better.

RE: deer feed
I have a feeder in front of my cabin, and I just use plain whole corn and put a little molasses on it and they are tearing it up. Tried the local feed stores Apple flavored corn and they won't touch it.

RE: deer feed
if the humidity is high it will swell and clog a timer feeder.you need a feeder with a top over it so it doesn;t get wet.it also takes a long time for them to start using it.
I use plain corn and the deer love it.it doesn't have the protine the feed has but it works.

RE: deer feed
purina is good stuff...has antler max in it. they make different types too. try buck-ola...buck grub is good to mix with things like that. give it a try though...i think they will hit it if u r in the right type of area.

RE: deer feed
i am not sure about the antler max. i have been using a few new thing in NJ where i am hunting this year. try BUCK NOLA. they have been hitting that in my feeder mixed with corn and another feed that i cannot think of now. i have been dusting it witha small amount of buck grub. when using the purina product with corn....do not add alot. like 1-2lbs for every 15ld of corn...if that. u need to create a lick site...this is cheap and worth the bang u get for your buck
get it no, really, a lick site works wonders for attracting does in nov dec and jan. if u need suggestions on a product...hit me back...i have used them all.
