Do you have livestock or alot of hogs the get into the feeders?

That is a little over 140,000 lbs of protein a year, sounds like alot to feed on 1200 acres... Not to mention is is almost 25K in cost a year.

We have fed antler max, record rack and some golden nugget stuff that my uncle gave us. The deer didnt seem to like the golden nugets, but love both the others and took very little time to pic up eating them.

We also plot, summer and fall. We plant millet mixed with iron and clay peas in the summer and oats and turnups durring the winter. We get the plots palnted every year, but they dont always grow, and it sucks to spend 200 bucks on seed and fertilizer and not have it come up, not to mention the labor and time.

No, we have our feeders fenced off. We don't refill the feeders right away anymore... learned the hard way. But when we do put out more protein, it goes quick. We culled our heard out pretty good though so it shouldn't be quite as bad now.

you'll find your pissing in the wind if you don't have irrigation.

we planted oats 5 years in a row, only had them come up 3 years. no way i'm spending the time and money to plant lab-lab and not have a guarentee
