People that feed protein for one summer and then say they see "big changes" are fooling themselves. It takes 6-7 years to see bigger antlers.
The research indicates that nutrition is generational, and better fed does, then have better fed fawns which become mature bucks. So if you figure a 4-5 year old buck as mature, you've got to feed the mother a year or two before that.
So, no, I'm not doing that. I'm too cheap for that and I don't have a high fence around my place anyway. This…data from Mississippi st is done on changes over multiple years in order to see the changes. Waste of money imho

I buy my 20% Protein feed from a mill in Hope Hull. It is mixed and bagged there and is no middle man involved. It does have some corn in it as well as minerals and vitamins. All summer long I only paid $12.50 per 50 lb bag. What feed is it? According to y’all’s favorite wildlife guy,Mark Buxton, bucks need protein post rut to help recover and in turn giving more antler growing time

Triple grip is really good stuff! Cheeto Marlow is a great guy and really will hook you up! He unloaded 40 bags into my garage last year just because he is a good guy. I think if you have heavy browse areas with availability of green briar, honey suckle, and other forbes, you might not need as much supplemental feeding. If you have a large amount of heavy timber and dense canopy, you might need more feed and summer plots. I honestly work a pretty good bit on our mineral sites. The deer really hammer them from about April to October. We had a ton of young bucks on the property this year so I think we will plant a bunch this summer just to try to keep them around.
Hunting brings out the worst in people.

^^^ Do u feed n off season Matt? If so - what?
I think i may do like JW but aint decided yet No sir. I’m not spending my hard earned money on feed that has negligible effects at worst and a 1.5-2% gain at best. There’s FAR more important things to be spending resources on. Habitat habitat habitat. Selective herbicides, tractors, drip torches and chainsaws are what I use. I’d put some of the places I work on against anywhere that’s feeding. I’m NOT against it. I encourage it if someone has the money to do it right. I just put my money into habitat that benefits multiple species, not just one. We don’t put out minerals or plant summer crops. We maximize habitat potential and our deer are as healthy as anything around. Average body weights are considerably higher than most of the surrounding areas.

We don't use corn or any other feed during the season. Day after season goes out, we fill our feeders with 50/50 mix of corn and All Stock protein pellets. Second feeder fill, we dial that back to 1:4 corn to All Stock and then we finally do away with the corn. We keep the protein feed going until green up. We also work on habitat improvements. Not sure how much good the feed does other than help them rebound during the high stress period following rut when other food sources are lower quality and scarce. If anything, it provides a great way to capture on camera what has survived the season. This is probably the best way to utilize supplemental feed. There’s not much quality forage left from February to spring green up. That’s a two to three month window after a high stress period that the deer could really benefit from.
