Anyone know where I can find a milo/corn/protein feed mix near Sonora Texas?

Do you have a photo of said mix?

If I knew what it looked like, I'd probably be more able to help.

Bode's over in Harper might be able to help you out or try Angelo Pellet up in San Angelo.

I would caution you that adding corn to the protein will only increase your loss to coons I thought that was a good idea years ago and ended up with 250 lbs of protein scooped out on the ground, all the corn eaten out of it, and the rest of the protein pooped on.

X3 and to turkeys in your area. Adding milo is a big mistake to me as quail and other birds can empty a feeder as fast a coon can. Quail can be as bad as coons on a feeder in some areas.

we have run this mix in our timed feeders and it has worked great for exotics. This will be out into a timed lamco trough feeder.

To much grain in a deer's diet is not a good thing. I would shy away from corn and milo in the Lamco and keep pellets only in it. If money is your concern then just feed the same amount of protein you would have mixed. Put the mix in a spin feeder and let is sling on the ground.
