What up fellow ODT'rs.
I'd like to chat with someone, currently managing property, that has successfully bulked the deer up on their land. My family and I are just starting to get into "deer management" instead of the good ol "just sit in a stand and shoot what walks up". We have taken out most of the jacked up retarded looking bucks and left the young ones with potential alone. I'll try to post some pics of the we-tards.
So my first question start with feeding. We've never really had a hog problem until this year. I have one trail cam pic with 9+ hogs. This makes me want to change out our tri-pod electric corn slinging feeders to a trough style or elevated gravity fed feeder. (keep the hogs out of it)
Second - Most of the high protein deer feed (20g protein) is pretty pricey and I can only find it for sale in bags.

- Around here (middle ga) what would be better to use for feeding deer? Tough? Gravity fed? Both better than a timed slinger?

- Has anyone found a high protein feed that can be purchased by the barrel? If so, where can I get it?
- Do you feed year around?
