Problem with Remington Deer Corn

http://www.survivalistboards.com/showthread.php?t=81648 While using Remington Deer Corn to fill up the feeders, I noticed that there were a lot of debris in the corn. The small sticks in the corn can get across the feed hole and stop up the flow of corn.

One feeder we checked earlier in the day, it had a stick just like the one in the video that had stopped up the feed hole. The deer feeder had to have the corn dumped out just to remove that one little stick.

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.

flamedrag18 - this corn is supposed to be for deer feeders. For it to go through the funnel, it has to be free of debris like those sticks.

[copperspook]

what kind of deer you feeding

[survivalistboards]

copperspook - whitetail deer, and there are wild hogs in the area that go to the feeder.

Just curious but why use a deer feeder?

[M0LONLABE]

the corp bastards just let junk pass too add to the weight of the bag sold, you are paying by weight ...

Heres an idea, don't bait.Learn to hunt..Baiting spreads disease more easily!

[survivalistboy]

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.

@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.

@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.

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.

This stuff will mold over also. I bought close to 25 bags after the season for about 2 dollars a bag and half have molded over. This is junk corn.

I just use regular whole kernel corn from the feed store (the kind thats ment for cattle) the deer around here love it

@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
