CJBS2003, I noticed you feed soybeans. I have been feeding Whole "Roasted " Soybeans for the past eight years. I was told that roasted soybeans are much easier for deer to digest. I only mix a little corn in because of the price of roasted soybeans, which is $18 for 50lbs right now. I keep my plan pretty simple. I plant oats in the fall/winter and soybeans in the spring with Iron/clay peas a little later. Like Dave said, last year the acorn crop was unbelievable, so most supplemental food went untouched. I have noticed though that fresh sprouts of soybeans are like "crack" to deer. The deer don't seem to like the peas until summer though.
