lol.

@charleywalker2982 thank you! And we have some more planned.

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.

@thomaschandler4831 thank you for the kind words! I’m still a work in progress, but thankfully the boys show their dad some grace when I have my moments.

Thanks!

Sounds like a good plan. I like the thought.

lol. If you want to see what it’s normally like watch out corn and acorn video. All does and raccoons! 😂

The oats seem to be easier to chew up, but I’m guessing the taste is that much of a difference.

Where I’m from plated oats don’t make it to seed

@@tomstone3645 because they are preferred.

They are after the fat content in the corn

@@Highstranger951 corn and oats have similar fat content. Oats have a higher protein content, but corn has more carbs and less fiber.

Me too. Even though we don’t have corn fields around here, corn is still king to the deer.

I think time dependent is a good observation. It’s interesting how deer won’t gorge themselves and leave food supply behind. Definitely not like our cattle.

I would think so too, but I’m sure corn is way sweeter to them and only using oats for the nutritional value.

It took several weeks to finish off the corn. The coons are the ones that demolish the pile. The deer just pick at it and move on.

Did you have any luck? It’s been tough lately to get on school’s. Maybe it’s an early early bite.

Not a sing fish but got 2 bites

Last 2 trips we’ve been half a crank. That’s pretty rare, but seems to be difference maker.

Wheat is primarily what we have here in western Oklahoma. I’ve seen wheat pretty much get eaten by birds and coons, but corn seems to be the go to.

Temperature has a lot to do with it. When it's cold, they'll go for the corn before anything else. Apples seem to work better in milder temperatures.

Try rye! In central SK seems to work just fine and you can buy it from a farmer rather a bagged product from a hunting store.

I was shocked to see this many bucks. We normally don’t see that many. I didn’t notice the moon phase. But man that one was all puffed up and definitely had everything in submission mode.

Oklahoma had literate deer 😂, they also follow signs with arrows. LOL

@@melissaannboone3639 🤣 lmfao

@@melissaannboone3639 they only cross roads at deer 🦌 crossing sign’s 😂

lol.

I know cattle will eat cotton seed.

lol. They’d probably still have gone to corn.

lol. I hear you on the cheapest. Especially if you have a coon problem like we do.

@@BooneBoys haven’t had many problems with raccoons. Hogs can be a problem.

We will see if hogs come our way. We are several miles off a small river and it’s really open country around us.

Persimmon apple natural smells pine trees honeysuckle sassafras are your cover

It seems corn rules around us. No corn fields for miles and miles.

Interesting. Thanks for passing that along.

I think that is going to be the next one!

No they aren’t familiar with oats around here. Only reason why they’d know corn is a few feeders. We only have wheat and cotton around our area in western Oklahoma.

I think that could be part of it. Maybe it’s the time of the year too?

No doubt. Not many of that around the arid part of western Oklahoma. I’ve seen them eating cedar tree berries. lol.

I like that idea.

I doubt it. They seem to eat a little bit of everything to fulfill their diet needs and would continue to eat the pears. It’s amazing how the deer leave piles of food to scavenge for other food.

Could be. We do have feeders we occasionally turn on but we are in almost strictly wheat and cotton country out where we are at.

It would be interesting to see if those people are right and it changed in the spring.

I think you’re probably right. Doing a peanut test now, it will be interesting to see final videos when they are done.

They seem to creep up on the piles, I’m sure moving signs back would help a lot.

lol. Or maybe in Spanish.

@jameswatson4110 no doubt! I’ve hear of sightings within 6 miles, but they haven’t made it here yet.

I’ve never fed Canola. Pretty small seed though, we have canola fields around in western Oklahoma.

I've got peanuts and corn out right now. We will pull the card in a month.

That would be interesting.

Reolink Trackmix LTE it’s for home security but works great.

I think that would be a good mix

I could see how people might see it that way. I guess it’s all about time and location. I always looked at it like fishing with a bare hook or putting bait on a hook. If you have all the time in the world you’ll eventually get on with a hook and probably faster if the water is loaded with fish. Same thing deer hunting. If you are in open country you might never have an animal within a mile of where you have property to hunt if there isn’t anything to bring them close by. I appreciate the folks though that take the extra effort to do it without baiting or modern electronics/game cameras I would say is even more impressive. If somebody doesn’t believe in baiting I would think they would feel the same way about a game camera.

We need to try that! Gonna make it happen

I’ve never tried it in a feeder.

lol. Had no idea about those cheez it puffs.

@@BooneBoys Deer have the weirdest tastes. There are videos on the web of them eating live birds

@@Raul28153 I’ve never seen that, but you’re right it seems to be very dependent on geography.

That’s something we are going to do!

Wow. Never heard of that. I guess immunity is built up? Or maybe different deer genetics where it’s built in.

@@BooneBoys no, it's deer biology. Stomach bacteria change with the browse and as the browse gets less sugarlater in the year, the bacteria switch to woody browse. If you then give them corn they will have trouble digesting it, and it will kill them even. Look up a condition called acidosis.

A diet of only corn could kill them.... They are just snacking between their greens and browse.

I would think they’d regulate themselves. They seem to naturally crave a variety in their diet.

Some states in the U.S. it’s illegal as well.

I figured the oats would’ve performed better though.

@@BooneBoys if they were planted they would have

@@BooneBoys Louisiana here Always wanted to hunt Ok. I’ve hunted Ne snd Ks Headed to Alaska next year can’t wait lol.

Man hunting in Alaska sounds like a dream trip. Went fishing there one time and was probably the most amazing place I’ve ever been.

@@BooneBoys yup been on my bucket list for ever. This fell in my pocket. Met a gentleman on line that I’ve been talking to over a year. He lives off grid. 80 miles out of Fairbanks. Just him and his wife. He’ll drive in and pick me up. It’s only going to cost me the tags.Caribou bear and moose. 300 for bear and caribou each and 800 for moose Don’t have a clue how I’m going to get the meat home lol, but I’m doing it. Trying to talk my son into going but money is an issue. So I guess imma give his inheritance early or Christmas for life. If not imma get a buddy or somebody to go. I’m 65 so if I don’t do it now it won’t happen. I only fear that I’ll fall in love with it and not want to leave.

It seems to me they naturally limit themselves. It’s amazing how they might nibble for a few seconds and just move on. One would think they would be aggressive over an easy food supply, but definitely not where we are at anyways.

lol. We only wish.
