How to Feed Rice Bran to Deer

Rice bran is becoming a popular food to feed deer. It can be used to bait deer for hunting or to draw them close enough to enjoy their natural beauty. It is an alternative to whole shelled corn, which was traditionally used to bait deer. Rice bran is better for the digestive system of deer and is less likely to cause disease. Rice bran is a powdered substance that works best when spread on the ground.
