Supplemental Protein

Postby Duck$$$ » Tue Aug 09, 2011 3:38 pm

I am looking to start a supplemental feeding program. I have bought a off ground 4 spout feeder. What feed seems to work the best and what is the best place to get it. What is the best bang for your $$ ?

Delta whitetail. You can get it at any Jimmy sanders store. Made by MS guy locally and he knows what he's doing.

check into buck booster sold in Houston at Ware's feed meal. I have used it and getting a lot more buck pics than in the past… Not sure why but haven't had the number of does feeding at the feeders that I have in the past since I went from straight corn to this buck booster.

I'd have to look but it's around $475/ton last I checked.

We use Buck Booster. It is by far the best out there. It is the most digestible and the deer love it. We have been using it for 6 years now. I have several
friends that I have turned on to it, one of them has a high fence in Alabama. Never killed a deer over 140 in 8 years. They have been feeding it now for almost
2 years and have killed several over 140 the first year and now are growing the biggest deer they have ever had. Proof is in the pudding!!

I have been considering the buck booster also but have never seen it. Will it feed out of the tripod spincast feeders?

No, as it is not meant to sit on the ground. It is a plain pellet. It does not have like a rain guard on it to keep moisture
out. It is designed to be fed from a tube or covered trough feeder.
