I like to feed these as supplemental protein starting right after hunting season and through the summer. They are 36% protein. Last year I was getting them for $15.00 per 50 lb bag. This year they are $20.00 per 50 lb bag at the same local feed store. I hunt Henry and Barbour counties.Can anyone share information on a better price in that area?

At $20/bag, I'd be buying pellets. That's ridiculous.

I agree. Problem is these deer are the most timid deer I have ever hunted. I have tried repeatedly to get them on pellets and they won't have it. They just rot and go to waste.

never have bought fromt hat placelisted above. I just did a quick google search and found it. Hope ithelps!

I just submitted a request for freight cost for 20 bags. I'll post the quote here when I receive it. I suspect it will be cost prohibitive.

I think the last ones I bought were 17 a bagi mix it with corn and couple other things makes them go a lil further

Yes, I do mix with corn and an orange flavored protein powder additive from Texas. I know it sounds weird but they love it.

Place south of Frisco City sells them by the 50 gallon barrel, I’ll get the price

Casey's Feed and Seed in Hope Hull, Al has a dang good deer feed mix that is 20% protein for $9.25 per 50 pound sack.

K&S feed there outside ft gaines ga on 37 , Walt sells 50 lb bags of blackeyed peas for 15 and change …..better for the deer and cheaper .

I think the roasted soy beans are supposed to be 35%+

I've always heard that a deer can't digest over about 20%.

There is a limit, but when you consider the natural browse and other things they are eating, the higher protein feed will hopefully bring their overall % up close to the max. That's why I think most folks like to feed higher protein feed.

If I was going to feed a lot of bags of protein, I'd be investing in summer bean plots (or other crops).

I do that too but the deer on the Barbour Co.property don't utilize them much until the peas are fully mature (and the bucks have nearly completed growing their antlers) and then they mow them down quickly. On the Henry Co. property, they nip them all off when they break the surface and that's that.

Most folks that hunt leased land don't have large enough plots for summer planting to be very beneficial. Or cost effective when they get nipped soon as they get about 4" tall.

I have thought about planting a few rows of sun hemp to maybe give the peas a little cover and something to climb on. Would leave it standing and plant forage oats around it in fall.
