I've been throwing regular corn for last several months and have only had the same 2 does and a yearling 6 pt at the feeder everyday for the past 5 weeks -- been lots of natural browse that have kept the deer busy elsewhere.

Three days ago I started throwing a roasted soybean/corn mix and the deer have come out of the woodwork. I've got 5x the number of deer hammering this mix... including this little fellar.

I think i'm sold on this stuff.

Nice buck. He missing an eye?

deer at my place loved it too

Yep, looks like i'll have to name him "one eyed willy"...

Nice

You putting them in the feeder or just throwing some out on the ground? Also where are you getting them if you don't mind me asking?

Nice group of bucks and I would name him "Dead eye"

I can take care of that little fella for ya, lol.

That is great news, I was thinking about trying the corn/roasted soybeans from Martindales in Valley View i believe??? I am also wondering if they are just coming in because the natural browse is all drying out? I still haven't got the deer to come to feeders on my place yet. Of course I have a few acres of soybeans planted and they are hitting them pretty hard. Still good news to hear. Thanks for posting.

Yep. I put it in the feeder and also spread a 50 lb sack along the trails leading to the feeder 3 days ago.

I'm gonna be in trouble as soon as the hogs get wind of it. Need to put my hog panels up!

I got it at Johnson Feed Store in Lewisville. Expensive but from the looks of it may be worth it. 6 bags ran me about $100. I think they get it from Martindales.

There is a still a ton of natural browse -- blackberries all over the place. I noticed the same thing last year during June/July -- the majority of the deer avoided the feeder until mid to late august. I have been checking this place twice a week for the past 2 months and usually fewer than 200 pics on the cams per week. In the last 3 days since putting out the soybeans i got over 1500 pics.

I got it at a feed store in Rockwall. was 15.99 a bag so I only tried two bags and they killed it.

Great pics and bucks! What I find unsual is they jumped on soybeans so fast. Do you know if anyone elses is feeding them around you?

Oh my, in February that stuff was like $11 a bag at Martindales. Looks like I am taking a road trip to Kansas this fall and bringing back a couple tons of soy and corn!

I'm surprised they hit it so fast too, STX. From the timing on the game cams, they started on it the night i put it out. Nobody that I know of near us even feeds corn.

Man I am impressed with how fast they found them and gained a taste for them. I would not question why but keep them out!

I may have to try some. I have a small place in Stephens county that I can't seem to get good bucks to go to the feeder. They hit the fence line and cut across the property. Feeder is maybe 40 yards from the fence line.

I have scouted this place hard for months. Have game cams on trails and i have been seeing deer all spring/summer, they just havent bothered with the corn at the feeder.

I would switch to 80% soybeans if you could afford it and then turn down the amount per feeding a bit. Definetly put up a feed pen to keep the hogs off.

Thx. That's next on my to do list.

Look good to me

I used them last year and they got absolutely hammered by the deer. I will be using them again this year for sure!

You guys buying MFM products, you may look into the All Purpose pellet. It's really a calf/horse pellet. 14% protein and the same size as Record Rack. It will run you around $9 a bag.

Any problems with the soybeans in the feeder. Clogging up or anything like that. thank you

No probs with clogging. Roasted beans are smaller than the corn.

Good looking buck thats for sure!

Any one buying Roasted Soy Beans around Austin and where?

I bought some of that 50-50 mix last year. Being that it was just like a dollar higher then reg corn at the time I tried it and yes deers loved it. Heck had a sweet smell I wanted to take a bite myself haha. We got ours at a feed store in Waller
