April in Texas means longer days, greener pastures, and increased wildlife activity. Deer are more visible as they search for consistent food sources, making this the perfect time to fine-tune your deer feeder setup. Whether you’ve already installed a feeder or are just getting started, EvergreenBGF has the gear—and the know-how—to keep wildlife coming back day after day.
Why April Is a Peak Month for Deer Feeding
- Spring Foraging Begins:
Natural vegetation is coming back, but not in full swing yet—supplemental feeding makes a major difference. - Does Need Nutrition:
Pregnant does require extra protein and minerals to support healthy fawns. - Establishing Early Patterns:
Animals become habitual—feeding them now increases your odds of seeing them in the fall.
Pro Tips for Maximizing Feeder Effectiveness
- Use the Right Feed:
A mix of corn and protein pellets is ideal for April. Look for blends with 16–20% protein content. - Keep the Feeder Full:
Inconsistent feeding = inconsistent visits. Keep your feeder stocked to build trust. - Place Strategically:
Use natural funnels and cover—near trails, watering holes, or bedding areas. - Time It Right:
Program feeders to dispense at dawn and dusk when deer are most active. - Stay Scent-Free:
Minimize human scent near feeders. Use gloves and keep visits brief.

FAQs About April Deer Feeding
Can I use just corn?
Corn works, but adding protein in April boosts antler development and supports fawn health.
Should I change the feeding schedule from winter?
Yes—April means longer days, so adjust your feeder to match dawn/dusk patterns.
How close can I place a feeder to a hunting blind?
Give deer some breathing room—at least 100–150 yards for comfort and natural behavior.
Do I need a trail cam?
It’s a smart move. Monitoring traffic gives insight into herd health and movement.
April is a golden opportunity to attract and support healthy deer populations. With smart strategy and a quality feeder, you can transform your property into a year-round wildlife haven.
