Most high name brand manufactured stuff is gonna be crap, instead of wasting precious money on junk make your own feeder. It's always gonna be your best bet.
i use remington and i agree ive found pieces of corn cobs and sticks and stuff but i just pour it out and put a cam on it. i dont use a cornfeder anymore. i used to but i just started pouring it out on the ground and put a cam on it
I agree with the others to use regular feed. Or if you live close to an Amish community and get buy 100# bags of sweet feed - it's fresh enough to pour it in a bowl with milk and eat it for cereal. (haven't tried it, but tempted).
Also do a You Tube search on "Real Illusion Corn" then look for the Deer video or the turkey video. You may never need real corn again.
southern states feed is the best for me no trash in it no matter what ur feeding whole corn is $7.00 for 50lbs best i have found from local feed store the so called deer corn that some people buy at walmart and outdoor stores is bullshit just a fancy bag to get hunters attention the best is stock feed from local feed stores
@fordsforme1 that fancy bag caught my eye here in KY and we used 2 bags of it in a deer feeder, did a hell of a job. i did notice some sticks..but that was probably the most deer and turkey i have seen in a good 3 years
I Have noticed that "DEER" corn is of very bad quality, It developes a type of mold or fungi that is not suitable for feeding to animals. I tried the cheap corn and noticed the animals did not "attack" it like they usually do. I changed back to the FEED QUALITY corn and the animals ate every bit of it. , the feed quality corn has a few stems in it but the deer and other animals like it a whole lot more! its olny $1 more and its a true 50# not 40# like at walmart!
first of all if you are from TEXAS you would know why you use feeders. its because if you dont you probably will never see a deer unless you get lucky and see one on a ranch road. you cant get through the brush or see into it for that matter and there is so much raw nutrients in the brush that they dont have to come into the open like they do in other parts of the country. if hunting a feeder is cheating than so is hunting a planted field.
@whiteankle Sounds like TEXAS has some pretty shitty hunting if what you say is true. As for the brush, You do know that tracking is totally legal right, and that heavy brush is the best situation for that. So what your saying is that if you just want to sit around and wait for a deer to show up then you need a deer feeder. That sounds like luck not hunting. I understand baiting and shooting lanes and blinds. But the way people hunt now its like hunting in your backyard from your living room.
He's hunting Texas, which is brush country meaning you can't see past 10 feet in the bush. They put up feeders to lure them out of the thicket or else they would never see anything.
@wmp89 Im not talking about a shooting lane or baiting. I'm from Michigan and It is pretty thick here. I have never used a feeder ever and I have 5 nice bucks and I am only 20.
Good tip. The Remington cheap walmart corn is trashy...but cheap. The remington feeders for $100 have a decent motor and control unit, but cheap legs and plastic barrel. I use pipe legs and 55 gal drum w/ bottom funnel and a $50 remington feeder that has worked well so far. Take off the plastic spinner plate and replace it with a metal plate, the squirrels eat away the plastic plate and it won't throw far. Scott in Kountze, Tx.
Kev is now, and always will be the man. I no longer buy Corn. I grow my own. However I would NEVER buy anything from Walmart. So "Remmington" which is now almost a completely Chinese company, would be out of the question.
Remmington (save the actual fire arms) are always crappy products. Cloths, oils, gear, feed, all crap.
ive noticed remingtons quality has slowly started going down hill along with alot of manufactuers. what is american coming to. at one time the qaulity was bar none and now slowly more and more quaility control is going out the window such as this.
For ones living in corn country, I'd say buy your corn from a farmer. Otherwise, you can also buy shelled feed corn at a farm store or shelled corn for corn stoves.
a little of both. during the season you use the feeder location to attract deer and when the season over it gives them good nutrition for antler growth and fat.
remmington probly doesent make it, theirs probbley another company that remmington sold rights to use their name. but how ingnorand can remmington be to put their names on such bad products
if you strain the corn it wont plug the feeder.. if you have to empty the feeder to unplug it whats more waste of time.. straining it as you fill it or emptying it then haveing to refill it..
ya i kno but mise well just get local corn that is cleaned and every thing. but ya i see wat ur sayin, but we can't bait or feed the deer up here in michigan. so really it dont matter to us
hehe you cant do that here as well just plant some things they like in the gardne.. and you be happy to shoot the greedy sobs... My grandmother had her garden raided daily so she got almost nothing out of it she hated hunting but got so feed up that year because all the work for nothing we had nice deer stakes that hunting season..
Just go to a feed store or something like Tractor supply. We get 50 and 100 pound burlap sacks of corn its clean nothing but corn and the deer LOVE it. I think its just regular horse feed corn.
Ya but my grandmother like the deer just when they eat her whole garden she got mad at them because she still makes jams and stuff from the garden.. and all the work for something to come eat it befor you get any finally made her mad because it was a huge herd of deer not just 1 or 2
The Wal-mart way... Buy the package and once you open the package (coming close to slicing off your hand) You find out how cheap the product is. Wal-mart and a like should have gone out of business along time ago. I wish they would.
That's salvage grain...Reynolds is about 50miles east of me. Salvage grain is advertised for around here in the newspapers. I don't know if Gutwein uses any from my county though..
I have heard that corn is not that good for deer as it is too low in protein. Something like goat/sheep pelleted food is higher in protein and the pellets should not clog your feeder. Also, is deer feeding legal where you are? It is not legal in a lot of states.
I guess if you wanted you could filter it first yourself but I guess that is what you are paying for in the first place. Anyway, keep up the good work and I'll keep watching.
Dang, maybe its floor sweepings. Does the label say its not cleaned? Maybe someone was on the machinery that wasn't paying attention.... I think I'd be writing Gottwein. They need to know there's a problem.
well, you get what your pay for. also, I believe if they would process it more, it might be too foreign to them? have a mechanical smell to it instead of a clean, natural smell.
just my opinion?
is it actually made for feeders? cause some cheaper kinds are often meant to be hand spread, seen them before.
cheeper by weight, but may not be cheeper if the weight of all the stalks is considered. Perhaps support of your local feed store and not the local walmart may actually be cheeper. tj
i just through the corn out on the ground
