15% 3 way commodity feed

[Bowtech64]

Has any body used this mix in their deer feeders?

If it’s got pellets in it then it will clump and be worthless...

Okie,

Why would it clump if kept dry in a gravity protein feeder?

I feed pellets in a banks feeder. If it does clump, the raccoons scoop them out for me so I never know it!

What is your goal with this feed?

 

[Bowtech64]

To use this instead of straight corn at a decent price. I also cannot find a farmer near me willing to sell me corn in bulk

I have used pellets in a banks feeder...it invariably draws moisture and clumps...

I used protein pellets in a Banks feeder one summer and had zero problems with moisture, but the deer were eating 250 lbs of food every 4 days so maybe that’s why.

My best use of it was later in the season when I was going through 300 lbs every 3 days and it was 2 parts corn, 1 part pellets...when I stopped feeding even with that small amount my feeder had clumped feed in it I had to scrape out...

Weird. What kind of pellets? I used the Record Rack protein feed and had 0 problems...I was feeding 100% pellets and went through several pallets worth. The humidity where I hunt is very high so there was ample exposure to moisture.

The price is right for sure. That’s some cheap feed if it's got good components.

I have used 2 kinds. 1 was a high protein pellet our local feed supplier was selling. It was made in a local feed mill and looked like a great product. The next was rice bran pellets from Atwood’s...

How did the rice bran pellets work for you?

Besides the issue of attracting moisture they work like any rice bran I have used...draw lots of deer!

I just dump the rice bran powder on the ground.I never had any problems with Record Rack in a banks feeder but trying to find a store that sold it after deer season got to be a problem
