Can you change the bucks on your property by feeding them an expensive more protein rich or mineral rich feed? I mean change antler growth even 10"

I'm far from a biologist but I imagine over time you'd see a slight increase in antler size from a supplemental feeding program done right. If bucks have plenty of eat after getting run down from the rut seems like they'd put on more bone the next growing season. I would think improving your habitat to its peak potential would far exceed some supplemental protein feeding though. Unless you are managing a few thousand acres though your neighbors may make it tough to ever see much improvement.
I wouldn't waste my money!

Is it really a waste if you dont care about the money?
Yes, put that money towards habitat improvement instead. Its not as easy as buying some buck chow like the tv would have you believe
