Alpine Deer Feeder

[hparrott]

I’ve read a few old posts on deer feeder suggestions. I have a nice buck on camera that I would like to try to get to stick around. Last year after he lost interest in the mineral lick and then he was gone until spring.

I don’t want to use corn or a cob mix with molasses to avoid brining in bears, do bears go for oats or barley or alfalfa pellets? Also, in the surrounding area none of these foods are an available food source to the deer being in the alpine, is there one that may be preferred over another in this case? Thank you

.....Also, should add that the feed will only be used until mid September as I know they can have issues with acidosis and after the end of September the area won’t be accessible anyway
