There are a lot of specialized deer feeds on the market. We all want to know if they really work and if they are worth the premium price we pay for them. What about regular livestock feed? Will it work for deer and wildlife just as good as the premium deer feeds will? Well, I seek to answer all these questions in this video. I set up a feed site using three Moultrie Feed Station gravity feeders and I pit the popular Record Rack Golden Deer Nuggets against common All-Stock Sweet Feed that you can find at all feed stores for under $10. I also throw in a bag of custom deer feed that is produced locally into the mix. Will the popular name brand feed win the day? Watch the video and see for yourself.

I’m over in Crockett Co just east of the Pecos River. Glad I came across this before I went and dropped a bunch of cash on deer protein. Rancher suggested I use sweet feed and I wasn’t sold till I came across this.

[@survivethat2012]

Great Video! Useful info. Thanks

[@kirby0101]

I have the same Moultrie feeder. I fill it with all stock sweet feed and the deer empty it out in two days.

[@Chevy4x4dawg]

Great information! I am located where Tom Green, Runnels, and Coke county lines meet. This season Hunter got a 8 pt that scored 130 3/8. Several 8s to 9s so looking to add protein feeders.

[@douglasmedlin7159]

In Georgia mineral blocks use is spring to early fall. After first cold snap they shut down coming to the mineral blocks. Example from daily use to once to twice a month.

[@thejungleexplorer]

👍

[@kwilson5745]

Thank you for this test. I have had poor results with sweet feed in the past. I'm going to use all stock next. Wish me luck.

[@thejungleexplorer]

I have had several hunter tell me they have seen immediately results with All Stock sweet feed after watching this video. I hope it works as well for you. Good luck.

[@AdventureOne]

Interesting test. I have literally had deer run up to me while filling "fruity pebbles"

[@thejungleexplorer]

Thank you for commenting Adventure One! I am so glad the video was helpful.

[@adamcastillo1951]

I have the ability to hunt 100 acres in lamb county west of Lubbock tx. I Have used sweet feed in my area and I continue to use it to this day. The neighboring land owners ask what I use and they get upset when they see no deer signs at their feeders when they use that expensive antler max or Purina deer feed. I found it best to use the sweet feed for it's protein and I put out a 20% protein during and a week after the rut then go back to the 12%. Corn is just used to attract the deer it really has no nutritional value for them, it can create a high level of acidosis for the deer. Feeding them the protein will help with what they loose when they can't find too much forage or browse during the winter months. I have used alfalfa pellets as alfalfa is also got nutrients and protein they need.

[@thejungleexplorer]

Thank you for this great information Adam Castillo. I appreciate it very much when viewers contribute useful information as you have here.

[@MrDogone1234]

Thank you!! Perfect video.

[@thejungleexplorer]

You're welcome. Glad it helped.

[@columbiariversalmonenhance4050]

Good info bud. Thank you!! Been sitting here wondering if I was ruining my corn/protein pellet feed mix by adding sweet feed to it?? Might just try straight sweet feed like you have and see how it compares here in Oregon on the Blacktails and Mulies?

[@welch44]

The fruity pebbles like to mold with the least mount of moisture. Wonder if corn and sweet feed mix would go good mixed together in a trough

[@darktoadone5068]

I use cut up carrots, apples and peanuts, they go crazy when I put it out. Cheap when you have a farm.

I have two 600 lb. protein feeders, each with six baffles. These are gravity driven, as yours are. After watching your video, sweet feed might work as well or better than more expensive feed like Antler Max. You mentioned sweet feed has some stickiness. Would this be a problem in a large gravity feeder? Also, do you mix feed with corn during Spring /Summer months? I live in rural North Texas, Young County, on a farm. I also have four spreader feeders that I use with a roasted soybean/corn mixture that works well with solar spreader motors. Any suggestions would be appreciated. (I also use multiple game cameras. I have lots of pics of good bucks, all ages, during and immediately after, deer season. I also have numerous wild hogs, so use hog wire around feeders, creating 40 diameter circular pens. These hog wire panels do keep hogs out. Deer simply jump over the 34" panels, into the pens).

[@sethpayne9616]

Do you have mature bucks come to your feeders during season in dylight?

[@thejungleexplorer]

Glad it helped

[@styfull]

How did you mount the gravity feeder? Did you use the strap?

[@thejungleexplorer]

Yes. I used the straps.

[@wvpatriot1301]

Got tired of the neighbors holding all the deer with that junk whole corn. Guess I'll join the fun but I'm using sweet feed.

[@tater357]

Do your research and ask some biologists if deer can eat the amount of Copper thats in a bag of sweet feed on a regular basis and then ask if it will affect them in any way before actually going and buying a bag of sweet feed to suppliment your deer herd with. THEN you'll understand why it's not suggested to feed the deer sweet feed.

[@thejungleexplorer]

Thanks for the comment.

[@tylerodell2599]

Hey try this one .. purenia Antlermax vs producers pride all stock sweet feed that would make a great video

[@thejungleexplorer]

Yes it probably would, but unfortunately, I am losing my whole deer population as a result of the extreme drought I am in. Had a skinny little fawn walk up into my yard just yesterday. I tried to save it but it died anyways. I have had less than 2 inches of rain in 18 months and the ground is so dry that the grass has disintegrated and turned to dirt. Foud two deer dead on the side of the road half a mile from my house. The only grass left is next to the edge of the road, so they are getting killed off daily by cars. I do not expect any deer on my land to survive .

[@TheCW284]

@@thejungleexplorer is it still bad?

[@thejungleexplorer]

@@TheCW284 Yes. Horrible.

[@sethpayne9616]

Do you have any luck with mature bucks coming in daylight during season to your feeders?

[@thejungleexplorer]

In early season Bucks are in the rut and only have one thing on their mind, chasing tail. They don't eat much of anything during this time. But once the rut is over, they are very hungry and will come to food. People think that deer like corn, but that is not entirely true. They will eat it f they are hungry, but it is more of a snack item to them, not a meal item. Sweet Feed is something they will eat just like a goat or a cow. It is food to them and they really like the smell f it.

[@sethpayne9616]

@@thejungleexplorer I understand. During the late season post rut do you have mature bucks hit your feeder during daylight?

[@thejungleexplorer]

[@sethpayne9616]

@@thejungleexplorer nice! I have my own place now and want to establish year round feed and considering feeders just not sure which style to go with. I've always just poured on ground. Any advice is appreciated

[@thejungleexplorer]

@@sethpayne9616 I like your plan. I have been doing this for about ten years. I run corn year around in my feeder to keep my local deer close. I also plant small food plots. Food plots are very important. Because I live in the Texas desert, I keep a water source year-round for them as well. I use trace mineral blocks, like for cattle, year-round as well. As far as feeders go, mine are the cheap wild game innovations that I bought at Walmart on sale after the end of the season, for like $40. I have had them for many years and they do the job just fine. Occasionally, I have to replace a motor, battery, or timer, but the feeders themselves have held up well. There are lot of new feeders on the market that are probably much better than my old cheapies, but as long as they get the job done, I am satisfied.

[@TWO_GENDERS]

If you buy sweet feed and a cheap concrete mixer you can put it in there with rice bran and it will cost the pellets and they won’t be sticky any longer.

[@thejungleexplorer]

Thanks for the good information. I always appreciate it when people contribute valuable information such as this.

[@dirtlegchaser2424]

not sure any of it matters. my friend that lives only 5 or 6 miles from me has deer that that wont eat the same things the deer at my place do. his wont touch the rice bran but mine love it. mine dont care for much corn and his cleans it up over night.

[@thejungleexplorer]

Very true, but many people I know have tried Sweet Feed after watching this video and reported success with it from different regions.

[@dirtlegchaser2424]

@Supercreech theyll eat it just not like they do at his place. if theres anything else they get it first.

[@dirtlegchaser2424]

@Supercreech i meant oats sorry

[@hulsey19750]

Try buck seduction vs double down. Try both of the double down products vs buck seduction

[@hulsey19750]

You might try big tine also compare all them to sweetfeed

[@thejungleexplorer]

👍

[@otahu26]

If you Mix Beef Fishiner, and Goat Ration with Whole Oats and Rabbit feed, Then add in 2% bird feed and Lentiles. it won't stick and Deer LOVE LOVE IT!!

[@jameswarner6899]

The deer love the blocks But you need to bury them flush with the ground and put a little feed on top of it
