When to Set Out The Feed

WHY WE PREFER BUCK MUFFINS

  • We utilize Buck Muffins on the properties we manage for various reasons.
  • Buck Muffins do not need a feeder.
  • It is used as a Free-Choice supplement with a deer’s native browse provided by the landscape.
  • An effective way to feed our fawns is to use Buck Muffins tubs, which are at the perfect height that fawns can utilize, contrary to protein pellets that feed through a feeder with spouts 50+ inches off the ground.
  • Cinnagar technology- an additive for enhanced fleas, ticks, and fly protection and increased rumen efficiency.
  •  Minimal intrusion into your deer habitat- tubs typically last 6-8 weeks within a high deer-density area.

Tips And Tricks To Starting A Supplemental Feed Program

First off, a deer’s need for a high-protein diet occurs in the spring and summer. This is when you should begin your supplemental feed program.

  • Different deer have different needs. Consumption rates will also vary from location to location. Higher consumption means your deer are lacking, and they will fulfill those needs with your high-protein supplement. Lower consumption may be noticed in areas with a high protein native browse.
  • We like to top our Buck Muffins tubs with corn to influence consumption. This will help get your deer started. You may have to do this multiple times before your deer consumes the tubs.
  • Keep your product clean and dry until the deer habitually begins consumption. Once a deer herd begins consuming this product regularly, they will keep the product clean and fresh on their own
  • Put a trail cam over the tub. This is a great way to monitor your deer herd and buck numbers. We like to run a cellular camera when possible. 6-8 weeks of product that doesn’t require a person to be in and out of the area = less pressured deer
