    I use to mix 5 pounds of acorn frenzy with 40 pounds of corn, deer would eat it all within a week or so. Just a thought

    I would say that oats or soybeans are good.

    I use "Record Racks" Deer golden nuggets...You can get it from tractor supple...I put out 40# of it with 50# of shelled corn and it was gone in a day and half but the deer here eat regular corn like that, so idk if it really works or the deer just eat anything lol

    a bunch of guys around here put the small alfalfa pellets in with the corn, pretty reasonable at the feed stores

    Try some monster raxx apple harvest or whitetail magnet. One bottle can treat up to 200 pounds of corn. I also like to mix a bag of monster raxx trophy mineral in with my corn every once in a while.

    I looked at this stuff it looks pretty good seems pretty reasonable with good protein also had some record rack deer and elk feed I think the three mixed would really help develop the deer around me.

    I use Monster Raxx Whitetail Magnet in my 200 lb motorized feeder. Works great, doesn't gum the feeder up and I can smell it from just walking by the feeder from 10 yards away.
