I’ve seen where people in Texas feed deer with bales or piles of cotton seed, would that work here? Probably. I was on a place that the deer were eating the cotton plants. They're goats and eat anything. I wouldnt ne surprised if there was a photo of one standing on top of a car. Our deer killed about 60 acres of cotton plants this yr. They have never bothered them before this yr

I've been feeding peas perfect , whole blackeyed peas 14.50 a 50lb bag , have boss buck gravity feeders and mix 2 to 1 peas to corn ratio. peas are 85 percent digestible compared to most protein pellets that are usually only 65 to 70 percent digestible....

In my feeder pen, I had a timed feeder, but what really got them was a sweet sorghum block. I would go in the night before and dump a jar of molasses on top of it. But this was all before the feral hogs invaded the place.

i like to mix wheat seed(it has about 13% protien) in with my corn and if the weather is right I'll mix some rice bran in there. I like to add a little something like strawberry coolaid,cmere deer corn coat, or a shot of that vanilla spray if i am establishing a new feeding spot. This has been the first year in the last 10 years i havent put out any feed though.
I've always heard about the cotton seed, one thing that i always wondered is if cotton seed causes a type of birth control in deer. They say slaves use to eat cotton plants (roots especially)to keep from getting pregnant. I don't know if any of that is true just what i heard.

I hunted farms that grew nothing but cotton for 10-15 years and there was always some cotton eaten by deer and i never saw any lower numbers that we might have attributed to "birth control".
