Corn or Soybeans in the deer feeder?

I've never heard of soybeans in a deer feeder, so for that reason I'll suggest corn.

We tried fresh soybeans and the deer in our area wouldnt eat them. They always eat corn. The 50lb sack of beans we had left over stayed at the camp for years. They were hard like rocks. I decided to put them out to get rid of them. Deer came eat them that afternoon. I would suggest corn over soybeans every day.

O'Neal's in Ruston sells roasted soybeans in 40 lb bags

Had no clue. I still think corn would pull them better than beans.

We had an 18 wheeler flip near my house a few years ago that was loaded with soybeans. I took every empty feed sack I had and went out there with a shovel and filled them.

Deer and hogs loved them but they are more filling than corn so they wouldn't have to eat as much. So, in a way they aren't as good. You want the animals to not fill up and to have to come back more often and stay longer at the feeder

I caught more hogs with soybeans in my traps than I did with corn

Well, we don't have any hogs on our club, yet

Deer won't eat dry soybeans. You have to soak them first and then they still prefer corn.

All we feed on our Louisiana place is soybeans. We buy them by the bulk from the river.

Coons don't tough it. It's just deer.

But if it's dirty beans with a mix of some corn, those damn coons will scoop it till they find yellow gold

Soybeans are outrageously expensive, id go with corn or get a gravity feeder and feed rice bran, deer around us eat the hell out rice bran

yeah, the deer around us don't mess with the bran too much either. I've had coworkers tell me that soybeans work better with corn, but expensive unless you get in bulk. I just can't handle bulk, but would try to buy 300lb of sack beans to try. Couldn't hurt to try, and could switch back to corn if they're not eating the beans. Def more protein in beans. Sounds like roasted beans would be way more expensive than beans in bulk from a CO-OP.
