Drought Results in stepped up Supplemental Feeding

The drought we had last fall knocked back our food plots significantly. As a result we stepped up our off-season supplemental feeding substantially to make up for the loss of browse that would have otherwise been available.
We have put out over a 1000 lbs of feed through 7 feeders spread across the property so far. It’s a lot of work to keep the feeders filled and operating properly but the cameras show that the deer and turkey are actively working them. Hopefully it’s helping them maintain their weight through the harsh winter months.
