So I have a feeder out with tsc rolling acres deer feed with molasses and the deer will not touch it. Also have two trough feeders with straight corn and the deer are killing these feeders. Is the tsc deer feed crap. I tried mixing in peanut butter. Is rack stacker deer ok or should I dump the tsc crap and stick with straight corn. The trough feeders are in the middle of a cut bean field and my guess the deer are hitting the feeders late at night.
 
l've tried some of those tv advertised products and in my personal opinion they are garbage. Put out carrots and or apples.If the corn works use it in combination or alone .l would also sprinkle the corn so they have to scavenge it and it should keep them there feeding longer.Cheers
 
I've used the TSC feed with molssases and find it's too gooey. The deer eat it eventually. The local feed mill version has less molasses and the deer really like it. Like it so much the ground looks vacuumed. Straight corn works as well.
 
Only thing with straight corn is its not diagestable. If your going to have a feeder and grow deer you should grow some healthy big racks.

Corn is more of a filler. That's why you will see it as the first ingredient in cheap dog food. (More healthy dog food, actual meat is first and no corn at all)
 
I've been doing corn and sweet feed 50/50 mix and half cut apples, they come to feed everyday, but just at the wrong times for the most part, but I am trying to train them now by putting it out between day light hours and pulling it away before nightfall, its starting to work.
 
Ask for "Beef Ration" at the feed mill, its a mix of corn, oats and alfalfa pellets with some molasses and minerals, I have had good luck feeding this. It gives off a kind of sweet fermented smell that they will pick up on quickly.
