Default RE: Mineral Licks

So many people associate a hole dug in the ground or a stump eaten as doing something that will help the deer. The stuff like Deer Dyn-o-Mite and Deer Cocaine are basically salt. Save yourself some bucks and go to the grocery store and by some salt in a 25lb bag. It's cheap and does basically the same thing for the deer, nothing.

I don't mean to say that salt is not used by deer but they can normally find it naturally and it's required in such small amounts why use it...............unless you have a stump you need removed.

Whitetail72, use one of the low salt mineral supplements that incorporates less than 50% salt and I personally think you will help the animals. I've seen a few products like the 30-06 supplement. I think they add about 30% salt but so many use 70% or more salt and you're not getting your money's worth with them.
