This place it just too close to pass up.
What about deer feeders. I’m pretty sure the cows will eat the corn. Maybe they will let me fence off a couple of spots for feeders.
Mineral licks would be out too.
Is there anything to plant or put in a feeder that would attract deer but not cows?
Probably not what you want to hear, but in this situation, why would you and to spend money on minerals and corn?
First, you aren't going to find anything a deer will eat that cow won't. Spent an afternoon once watching cows find persimmons on a tractor and root them out with their tongue and eat them/
Two, the farmer almost certainly has minerals out for the cows. Ask him.
Two, same with the cows and their feed. He probably fertilizes those pastures in the summer, and in the fall, top sows them, probably with wheat. Ask him about that.
You are pissing in the wind to put out minerals and bait in this situation, both ways. The cows will get into anything you put out and don't put a cow proof fence around, and the deer already have plenty of what you want to put out.
Best thing for you do is spend some evenings watching where the deer come out into the pastures. They will come out at the same spot. Then backtrack to their bedding area.
