YA TELL ME ABOUT IT I PICKED UP 100LBS OF THEM TODAY.........I GUESS THEY WILL GET TOSSED WITH THE CORN ON MY NEXT TRIP TO THE WOODS.
My yard is smack full of em. Best way I could find to get em up is to rake em up like leaves onto a 4' x 4' piece of 1/4"x1/4" wire cloth with 3 sides bent up a few inches. Just load em up on there, and shake it a bit to separate the acorns from the dirt and junk, then dump them into big Rubbermaid trashcans with lids for storage and transfer. I stored em that way for 2 weeks in the can with no mold whatsoever. Dumped em out on my foodplot on the lease, and the deer and hogs ate up over 200# in a single night. Not a bear track one.
Soybeans are the remedy if the acorns clog the feeder. They are planning to ban the use of corn on our lease next yr, is this why you are asking Dave? I hope they do, less competition for me to deal with LOL
Bears love my soybeans and they are double corn in price...need cheap corn!
Soybeans get expensive though. $16-$20 a bag adds up quick. We had 15 feeders of soybeans this year and it ain't cheap. And the bears still stayed at the feeders. The guys that that just hand spread corn lightly didn't have the bears we did on the feeders full of soybeans.
