My south neighbor feeds heavily and 365 days a year.He told me once how much he feeds but I am not sure.I think its like 10,000-11,000 lbs of corn/protien pellets a year from free choice feeders like Boss Buck on 300 acres. I just spin some corn for pictures starting in about August but do put in about 8-9 acres of summer plots every year. His plots are not really big enough to effectively do summer crops so between us we got all the bases covered. If they feel like some corn/protien they can chow down at his place and then wander a few hundred yards north and finish up with soybeans, peas, sunflowers and clover, or vice versa.One thing I am sure of is no deer in our area has EVER felt a hunger pain.
