We recently switched feed this year and the deer have been consuming it a lot more than last years feed.
They are currently going though 1 ton every two weeks on 1,100 acres. Last year we fed from February to September and then switched to corn.
I'm curious what others are paying or how much they are feeding on a per acre basis. I feel like we have a low deer density. I don't want to slow it down, but I feel like it's going to get costly feeding until September as quick as they are going through it. We fed 10 tons of protein feed last year, and at this pace it's going to likely be around 12 tons or more.
I am feeding out of Five 1,250 lb ASF and Six 300 lb Banks Feeders. 11 Feeders total. One per 100 acres.
