Has anyone else noticed there deer not coming to the feeders lately? I don’t normally run cameras this time of year but I’m surprise that I’m not getting any pictures of deer at my feeders. There is deer sign everywhere and other folks are getting pictures if they have their camera set up on a trail but mine are on feeders in the deer are avoiding them like the plague.

Deer will eat the most nutritious food source available. With green up the deer are eating a lot more clover in the food plots as well as other plants around the property.

I'm having the same issue. Up until a couple of weeks ago I could put out 200 pounds and it would be gone in 3 or 4 days. Now I put it out and it's going on two weeks. Just more food out there right now.

With my experience deer want eat walmart corn. It was pesticide on it.
Deer on my place in SC won't eat corn. Period.

corn is candy...they are probably looking for something to sustain antler growth, fawn development, and later milk production.

I agree with firedog6510. My deer won't touch the apple-flavored corn that Wally World is currently selling but eat up Wildlife Innovations (unflavored) corn from Dick's

Add some rice bran to it. That stuff is like crack to a deer.
“MY” deer are not eating corn either. It maybe because I have no corn out.

Yep, especially where I am currently hunting Turkey.
Especially where they may nest to. No need in feeding hogs to the area. 3000 acres corn free til June.

Well you won't know for sure until you put some corn out.

They will eat it if out. They have told me so. They said don’t get the Walmart junk. Get real corn from feed stores.
They will just have to eat on the bait food plots til June.

I only feed top shelf corn to my deer. They deserve the best. Walmart corn is just floor sweepings.The best corn to buy is enviro-corn.It is the most digestible and organic.
