Brings in horses from miles around.

if deer love them when they come off the trees, I don't see why they wouldn't love them in a bait site.. __________________ Quote: Hunting is My Heart & Soul, Without it. I'm just a empty shell. |

I get a product called Sweet Stuff it’s a all-purpose feed for sheep, horses, goats dairy and beef cattle. I buy it from Monmouth feed It is $7.55 for a 50 lb bag. They say it contains a lot of nutrients that the deer can use. Where as the corn is like feeding them candy its low in protein and high in carbs. Its cheaper then the deer corn also because its not advertised as a hunting product.
I have been using it for a few weeks and it works great. I might try an alfalpha pellet next. __________________ NJH PRO STAFF >>--->

Yes they will eat it.
Speaking of nutrition when feeding deer, the most important aspect you look for is the amount of protien content in the feed. Corn is roughly 6 percent, Pellet Deer feed is roughly 10 percent. You can plant crops which have 25-40 percent protien. If you can't plant a food plot then the best option is the Pellet Deer Feed at 10 percent. __________________ "Well, if it isn't Mister Chain Blue Lightning himself"

using just the nuts not the trees, But YES oak trees can be your baitsite....just like a corn field, soy field,ect. when you brake down the terms of bait site all sources of food/feed fit the bill...
since the acorns been falling I've been walking around picking them up and using them in my favore... __________________ Quote: Hunting is My Heart & Soul, Without it. I'm just a empty shell. |

He is talking about OATS, meaning the grain.
Not Acorns, which come from OAK Trees. __________________ "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner. Liberty is a well armed lamb contesting the vote" - Benjamin Franklin

Thats a cool idea start a fire cook the oats that you droped for the deer and go back in your stand and wait for them with a good warm belly of oats. What about butter and milk and sweet and low. Oh you pack that in. Got cha.

You should not put out so much at once. It will become mouldy and rotten which is not healthy for the deer. The best way is to get a timed feeder. __________________ "Well, if it isn't Mister Chain Blue Lightning himself"

Understood.
Maybe you could put out less, 50 pounds every 3 days? The reason being, it is unhealthy for the deer to eat bug infested mouldy food and that is what will happen if that pile just sits in the woods. __________________ "Well, if it isn't Mister Chain Blue Lightning himself"

I'm sure they would come to oats.
In Saskatchewan, they use peas and alfalfa hay. The deer will pick though the hay to get to the peas. __________________ <- <- <- <- ~ <- <- <- <-

| The problem with oats is that they will absorb moisture from the ground or from any dew or rain we get. Once they are wet they will either germinate or start to grow mold. Once they start to grow mold the deer will avoid them (they can smell the mold and know better than to eat it). So the only way I would try to bait with oats is to spread them out (a pile would only promote mold growth) when its dry and hope they get consumed before we get any rain. I'm sure the deer will eat them its just that they will not be any good once wet. The same thing happens to guys using sweetfeed, once it gets wet if it doesn't dry out very quickly its no good. | ||
