Sure, I put him on my mill for about 15-30 min. a day I feed him 2 1/4 cups a day. i also put him on the springpole, and flirt pole as well. o' coarse all in same day lol..... My mill has different heights i can set it at as well tension wise too. It can be adjusted to be free spinning.

I know how to condition it is just that he seems to be harder to do that with. If you look under "straightgame". My red wasnt as hard to do. Same routine.

It like a carpet style you could say
Feed wise is Nutri source performance

well i'm not familiar with that food so i can't really comment on it's effectiveness. i've been getting some pm's from very reliable members about my new carpet mill and the general rule seems to be not to go over 15 minutes. it's too hard of a workout as the mill is not free spinning. more hand walking if you don't have an electric mill or slat mill. lots more. the springpole i wouldn't rely on for lots of work. i would use it but don't think it's a miracle worker. i am a big believer in flirt pole. use it alot. a little weight dragging around the yard would be very good too.

i feed my 53 pound dog 2 cups per day (natures variety venison) and he maintains well on it. you may want to look at how much you are feeding. if you think it's an inferior feed you may consider buying something better. feed can make all the difference.

Well i have gone through all kinds of feed and this one im liking it pretty well. My mill free spins just like a slat but i can put the tension just like a carpet is what i am meaning to describe it as aside from that i try not to go over 20 min max. Cause it will burn up the kidneys if ran to hard from what ive been told.Yea i agree on the spring pole lol as not a miracle tool but a pain in the butt for me. I got to use the break stick each time to get hiom off so i try not to usee it much. I think i cut him down to 2 cups see how that goes for a bit i wanted to shave him dow to 54lbs. I think he would be set on that i just posted a new pic on the gallery of him in the woods betteer shot I think
