It works .. I just tried it recently, everytime I buy a bag and dump it under my feeder, 1 day later.. I have bucks eating from my feeder I have never seen before in my life. I just brought in a 10.. sad part is, I hunted with a blind on a different part of this property and the whole time he was sitting under my feeder eating this. I dumped a 50 lb bag, he was there eating for 2 straight days for hours at a time.. Maybe big buck keeping him away from all the acorns that fell.. anyways, hopefully I smoke his [censored] saturday.. problem is.. cold fronts coming and he the north wind works against me on this feeder, but ima try to stump his nose and bag him! Wish me luck!

When wet, it will swell in your feeder and clog. But with that said, I mixed some with regular corn and see no difference.

It's suppose to be a corn replacer. It's a pellet feed. It's ok if thrown out on ground. But even more than corn it will mold if you pile it up,so broadcast it around.like mentioned it will clog up feeder in our humid climate it swells up.

They sale it at academy. Its a protein attractive with corn blended in .. pelet dorm. I mix it with corn and lately ill pour a 50lb bag on the ground and within 24 hrs or less deer are at it. They haven't touched my corn but all over the flex. Problem being is wind will be against me this weekend so gotta spray down good and be super still.. hooefully he doesn't bust me.

Looks like it might be good to broadcast from your bumper feeder. Someone should try chumming the roads and sight lines from the stand to see if it works better than regular corn.

The deer at my rocksprings place love it. But the deer at springbranch don't eat it as well. I have had it clog feeders using it strait or mix. I hand broad cast it and they eat it fast out in the hills.it has a stronger smell than regular corn. For the price il keep tryin it. Using it this weekend il dump a whole 50#s hope the rains stays away flex corn doesn't handle rain well

did you fellas ever think that the way it swells when its on the ground would be the same way inside of a deer. Think of it this way, you go and eat a bunch of dinner rolls before your meal, then you don't eat all of supper. That big buck is going to be the same way, that corn swells when it gets wet, making that buck get full and not eat. He will ultimately not be at the feeder long, ending up on his couch watching the ball games and drinking deer beer.
Just my thoughts

I wonder if it offers enough nutritional value that it will bring deer around? Kind of like regular protein pellets or mineral blocks.
It could be coincidence that it brought deer in. You never know, they may would have come in anyway, especially if acorns and natural growth are getting scarce.

Nah, they love it, They wont touch my regular corn, and i mix it with corn in my feeder now.. They were probably looking for does when they stumbled across it, but they have stayed.. and eaten it, rains does make it mush.. On that not, i dropped 1 bag of apple flavored corn and flex on top friday afternoon. That cold front brought a 10 minute rain.. was mush this morning.. on another note. to hear about my moring i will post a new topic. To say the least.. I left another bag today after some skinning! LOL
