Small yellow ones that cost about $7 a bag.

I wish I had the time/money to really feed them the good stuff.

I have been feeding my local CO-OP brand 16% deer protein pellets to the deer on my personal property for the last two years. I feed it year around out of a 350# boss buck feeder and they eat 350# every two weeks. I feed 6 bags protein and mix one shelled corn in with the protein. I pay $9 bag for the protein I use. I also have 2 acres of clover/chicory planted I maintain year around.

Yep. I'm too cheap for that. Besides, I'd rather plant something and watch it grow.

Buck Booster and Antler Max are good feeds.

For those that feed protein what are your thoughts on using a feed with a small percentage of selenium? I had a deer farmer in Kentucky tell me it was a very important ingredient in his deer feed for producing mass. I have been reading up on the benefits and the use of probiotics in deer feed. A lot of information out there on the subject. A lot of your higher priced protein pellets contain selenium. The one I am currently feeding does not.

Copper is another micro that deer can use in small quantities. Some feed mills add that

Squeaky, I'd be very careful with the amount of selenium you add to deer feed, esp free choice where you cannot control the amount that a particular deer ingests. Selenium in too high does can be fatal to deer.

Most of the protein pellets on the market are only 65 percent digestible . a natural food base as a black eyed pea is over 85 percent digestible and over 20 percent protein as im told deer can only process up to 18 percent protein...theres a few clubs around buying bulk peanuts and feeding year round with great results . peanuts are high in protein and a high fat content . mix the two peas and peanuts and you have a mix that alabama deer know exactly what it is and eat the crap out of it....add a few good mineral sites around the property and your done......oh peanuts bulk rate was .08 cents a pound....and blackeyed peas are 15.75 for 50 pounds...

deer eating 20% protein feed AND natural browse will not exceed 15-16% protein ingested. If you had a deer in a pen with no other feed and fed it 20% it would not be good for the deer..too hot a feed.

THIS^^^^

Exactly what I have heard/ read as well about what % of protein a deer can utilize in their diet.... the rest goes out on the ground.
And I think I also read that until their bone structure and body is mature, you ain't changing the antlers on a 3.5 or 4.5 year old deer a whole lot with protein pellets..

yes anything more than 18 percent is just passed thru the animal and deposited on the ground..so as long as your feed has at least that much or more in it they can absorb the max there body will allow..has anyone on here tried to add a dewormer to there mix . I would think if you could deworm them they would put on quite a few pounds in body weight. any thoughts on that.
