I know its green especially for July, so when will you get your corn slinging for the deer? Im thinking of holding off until the middle of August. I will just keep some mineral licks out and an alfalfa bale until then.

We have the protein feeders full through Oct but we will fire up all the corn feeders in Sept.
Let'em grow old

I never stop either. I keep a feeder running all year. The only time they slow down on the corn is when the acorns fall.

I would go with this approach but I dont want hogs around and thats what I would primarily be feeding right now...and thank goodness Im not in acorn country anymore. Hunting gets real tough when those babies fall in mass quantities.

I have oats spinning in a couple now. As green as it is now seems pointless. Last year I had corn sprouts growing under the feeders as late as Oct. Opening dove weekend is when I start spinning corn. Oct I will spin for 10 - 15 sec. 2x per day and run like that till Jan.
Right now it's all about alfalfa.

I will be dropping two more bales this weekend. Paul, are you going to be rolling to our place with Leonardo this weekend or are you heading up to Wiley already?

I usually feed year round, but know that the feeders are empty right now. Need to head out there and fill them up.

Year round, I feed lightly this time of year. Keeps em in habit of coming by. I fill feeders every 6 weeks and will spin longer starting oct 15.
My wife must be a cross between a Indian and a bulldog. When she's not on the warpath, she's sitting on her butt growling.

Slumlord, I love the "We're burnin daylight". My dad has worn me out on that my whole life. I get a chuckle everytime I hear it.
