What To Feed DEER In 2024!!!

What To Feed DEER In 2024!!! It's a New Year and following the deer season it is now time to give back to the land and wildlife. As the cold weather continues we know that the make deer will need to regain some weight following the breeding season. It is said that a male buck can lose up to 20% of their body weight as they chase the doe...so clearly some nutrition and calories will be needed. Also, the doe have been bred and now that they are pregnant with fawns they too will need the best nutrition possible to ensure that the next generation on our property meet their full potential. The feed that we are using is the Buck Bourbon Barrel Proof blend with distiller grains, protein, minerals, crude fat and fiber, etc. Also, the cinnamon garlic flavor will bring them in from miles! We use this feed in 350lb boss buck gravity feeders and spead out some Buck Bourbon 110 proof...which we fondly call our secret weapon! We plan to feed the best possible feed to the deer on our property answering the question, "What to feed Deer in 2024!"

Great video . Just got done today filling corn and protein feeders today on my little 92 acres of East Texas piney woods . Love my Boss Buck feeders , bullet proof . We're able to feed year round in Texas and it's NEVER too early to start a supplemental feed program.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Love it man!!! They will appreciate it with the cold!

[@bay9876]

Almost like beef farming without the watering trough and tagging the live stock. Taking in inventory, checking out the deer stock health, making sure proper Nutrition and safe place to romp and calve. Harvest once a year and enjoy the fruits of your labour. Sounds like farming to me.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

I think you get it…100%. We farm memories more than anything! 👊🏼👍🏼

[@mileshiles1287]

Keep warm looking forward to a great 24. My favorite trail picture was of that turkey. I think he was taunting you. 😂

[@JoeTheFarmer]

🤣🤣🤣. Turkeys always taunt me!

[@user-dw6bh7tc3q]

Your videos on the 550 Bighorn make me happy I bought one for my farm ! 👍🏻

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thats awesome! Glad you are enjoying the machine! Appreciate you supporting our channel. 😁👍🏼👊🏼

[@brickmason4410]

I have one too.. love it

[@backyardcountrylivin1514]

Great video Joe. Never thought about leaving the engine running when putting the feed out, but it makes perfect sense. Heater in the 550 also makes perfect sense. Enjoyed the video.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thanks for watching buddy! I notice the deer really could care less about any motor (tractor, side by side, etc). It’s when it turns off they realize you aren’t leaving! Lol. We actually considered driving right through the food plots at one point during the season to get them to think the chuck wagon was coming. Never did, but would be interesting! Appreciate you watching and yes, that heat and cab have been a significant upgrade. Take care brother!

[@tomhuwar3341]

Always a great time in following you on your video's. We are still hunting in Texas. It is black power time. Going to the lease with some of buddies. I to use buck bourbon .

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Appreciate you watching Tom! Good lock with the black powder hunt. If you get a biggun I want pics!!!

[@ksredsfan]

great idea to feed after the season is over take care of the future deer and they will take care of you and your family for years to come with great quality meat in your freezer another awesome video thanks Joe

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thank you! And appreciate you watching my friend! 😀👊

[@oldmanoldtruck]

Love seeing the Bighorn put to work. I'm very jealous of the cab! LOL! Hope you had a great Christmas!

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Ha! Hopefully they make one for the 450 one day!!! It’s a game changer for sure! Happy New Year my friend!

[@tractorrookie]

🦌💪 Good stuff! Great plan! Thanks for sharing!🙌🇺🇸🚜

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thanks for watching! 😁👍🏼👊🏼

[@fixinanddoinstuff2134]

Thats food plot looks great!

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thanks!!! Not too shabby for the drought we had! Hope you found some luck in the woods. 👊

[@franklee6518]

So glad CWD is not a problem in your area, your very lucky it sucks feel bad for the deer

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Yes it does. Not sure how long we will be able to feed offseason. That law may change at some point. Appreciate you watching!

[@samueljones2495]

Another good one, Joe!

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Appreciate you watching!

[@bryans5339]

I’ve been buying 50lb sacks of corn at Bucees in Athens for $10.00. It’s a lot easier on the wallet when buying in bulk. I noticed a sign at the bottom of the pallet saying limit 120 sacks per customer lol.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

😂 So did you try to buy more than 120?!?! Lol... That is a great price for corn. Have you tried mixing a bag of protein pellets in there? Just something generic? Would be interesting to see if they would eat around the protein. Buck Bourbon they will eat right away, but plain protein they don't like as much. Picky picky!

[@bryans5339]

@@JoeTheFarmer I haven’t tried that. It would be interesting to see what they would eat first.

[@3172bees]

Looks good from up here in northern Maine. 12° here at the moment.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Wow thats cold!!! Appreciate you watching brother. Stay warm in the storm you have coming!!

[@rfb7117]

Joe.....we are getting 6-10" snow today. I have a pic I would like to send...is there a email I could use?

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Sure thing. [e-mail]

[@edpitcock3344]

Do you still feed the cotton seed just wondering. I’m in south eastern Ohio and was thinking about trying it. Thx.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Hey! The cotton seed worked great, but it is just too costly to source it in TN. I have moved to more of a protein blend for feeding. Buck Bourbon Barrel Proof is great, but you can just blend two bags corn with one bag protein pellets and top with an attractant. I would still feed the cotton seed if it was simple and reasonably priced. Thanks for watching!

[@Freedom2219]

Gonna have to try the buck bourbon

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Great time of year to try it. Even putting some corn out with the 110 on top will show you some deer you have never seen. If we could feed during the season I would fill my tags in teh first week! Lol. Appreciate you watching brother.

[@Freedom2219]

@JoeTheFarmer I kind of wish they would let you feed during hunting season I know when they changed the law in Georgia that you could it made hunting alot better and made it better for deer

[@JoeTheFarmer]

@@Freedom2219 I go back a forth. I like that we can take two bucks and don’t have to buy tons of corn to compete with neighbors…but also think its a disadvantage for those that can’t just take off work and hunt for weeks to hope a deer walks by. I just play by the rules and get the feed experience in Ky. Which has its own challenges when the deer know EXACTLY where the danger is. Blessed to have had some luck this year. Hope you did too!!!

[@Freedom2219]

@JoeTheFarmer not this year I spent about 10 days at my dad's cabin didn't see much....my dad shot a nice buck that we never recovered but did show back up on camera chasing a doe so he was a relieved....thanks again enjoy all your videos would like to see that old cabin on your property in a video one day an d some more hunting if possible thanks again

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Man, sounds like you all had a ball. Will absolutely get a video of the cabin up soon. Just needs to warm up! Appreciate the support brother. 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

[@averageoutdoorguy2737]

Where can I find that feed only the 110 is around here

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Tractor Supply is where I get it. Where are you located?

[@andrewbizub7548]

What do you recommend for trail cameras? Trying to decide what kind to buy

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Browning or Tactacam. Battery life is great with both, especially the browning

[@andympc9784]

Thank you!

[@gaelewis6623]

What type Side buy side is that?

[@JoeTheFarmer]

BigHorn 550!

[@coltonbullard5255]

Proto camera from TSC? lol :)

[@JoeTheFarmer]

I’ll never tell!!! 🤫😜

[@coltonbullard5255]

@@JoeTheFarmer HAHA!!! Looking forward to seeing and hearing more about it this year!

[@usmarshall336]

How much did you say that feed cost??

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Retail is around 17.99. Pallet saves about 10%. It's an investment for sure but I absolutely believe it works. Not for public land; but we have very few hunters around us and have seen a major jump in the herd over the past few years.

[@brickmason4410]

Hey Joe, Where did you get the doors and heater.. looked on the website but nothing listed.. Thanks

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Its rolling out in the next month or so. Mine may be the first one of the first with it. Have you emailed BigHorn? Btw, its awesome!!!

[@brickmason4410]

@@JoeTheFarmer No.. but I will.. looks like it works good.. sounds like it closes tight.. Thank you sir..

[@JoeTheFarmer]

It’s really a big upgrade. Not sure how the hot summer will work with it but right now it’s unbelievable!
