Deer Feed

Feeding deer is a year-round commitment if you want anything worth looking at in October. Corn and protein pellets handle the basics, but minerals and supplement blocks fill the gaps that a pile of corn never will. Soil test kits, plot enhancers, and foliar fertilizers are here for anyone managing habitat beyond just keeping something on the ground between seasons. From a 50-pound bag of flavored corn to the granules and blends that build a herd over time because October doesn’t care how much you wished you’d started in June.

What Can You Feed Deer

Most of us find that a blend of corn, alfalfa, and molasses-coated grains makes for the most enticing Deer Feed you can put out. If you are looking to do more than just attract them, protein pellets are a smart choice to ensure the does are healthy and the bucks are reaching their full potential. Along the Southwest Missouri-Northwest Arkansas corridor, the deer have a real taste for persimmon and apple-scented treats, which can be a great addition to your standard Deer Feed setup. We suggest avoiding too much kitchen scrap waste, as it isn’t always the best thing for their stomachs. Stick to a reliable, dry grain mix and they will be thanking you by showing up at your feeder like clockwork every single morning.
