Looking at either building a couple trough feeders or buying boss buck type feeders. Want to try and implement protein in with the corn. Any advice would be appreciated.
We've always used trough feeders and had good luck with them.

What do you guys make your trough feeders out of?
I use both and each has positives and negatives. Boss buck is harder to fill but is easier to keep raccoons out of and you can somewhat control the flow of feed. Troughs are cheaper (especially when you make a couple) and easier to fill but raccoons can and will park in the things and eat their fill. Boss bucks also require pellets. Either will work.
I know corn is a sore subject in here, but has anyone found a protein feed that will hold a candle to it as far as deer consumption goes? Our deer will devour 100lbs of corn in no time. This protein feed I'm using lasts for weeks (meadows edge deer fuel) I know on the Texas forum's them boys using double down go through it in tons in no time. Think I need to try a different protein feed!?
