was wonder ing if anybody feeds deer for nutrition and not just baiting? I have a never ending supply of corn and alfalfa and want to start feeding heavy at the begining of the year. I'm looking to boost antler growth and mass. I've heard protein and phosphurus are the main factors in early antler development. what can I mix with corn or alfalfa since corn has very little nutritional value by itself

i feed around 3 tons shelled corn we live near a peanut processor and we get the ground up hulls and spread them around with the corn full of protien,, they also sell the damaged peanut butter in 5 gal. buckets the deer love this stuff we feed in the wild no fence so the surrounding hunter like us alot,, we also plant a lot of biologic stuff on power line clearings, don't know how much they eat of this but it is there if they want it
