[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1480046, member: 6291"] I like the Lyssy and Eckel. I fed the Double Down for a while but I can get the LE locally. Some people swear by Purina. I think most of the name brands do the job. Im a firm believer in the protein now. I've had it out for 4 years now you an tell the body condition of the deer going to the protein vs the deer who don't. What impresses me is it really helps to keep those deer in tight. With free choice feed, a water source, and plenty of does it really helps keep them from wondering. I keep a game camera over the protein year round and it really helps with identifying deer, aging them, checking if they are still alive. :) They bucks really hit them hard and recover fast after the rut also. Its amazing to watch the condition of a big buck prior to the rut... then watch how much condition he loses during the rut... the watch him come back. I see how so many bucks are lost post rut. I'm more addicted to watching my pets on the camera than actually shooting them. :lol: I would say our deer population is kind of mid range. At a minimum I go thru about #100 a week. When the does are heavy bred they go to town on the protein. They can go thru #250 a week. In droughts they do a solid #200 per week. :shock: You may want to put 4 barrels on the next one. :) We run a couple of the #1200 and they hold up good for the price. They are cheaper in most stores than advertised direct online. Im going to start using them for corn feeders also with timers as mine start rusting out. They hold up good and I have had zero problems with coons or squirrels on them.
