Default RE: Mineral Licks

Hunter06 - to anwswer your question YESSSSSSS. I hunt in some of the best farmland in the midwest and the deer are starved for these minerals. they are not found in the abundance in food sources like tey are in licks. To prove this point, let just say the deer on the farms I hunt have a choice of what they want to eat via crops, brouse, food plots, and feeders they still tear up the mineral licks. this time of year when the bucks are producing antlers and the does are getting ready to fawn they are starved for these minerals. After this part of the year gets over around August, September time frame they lay off of it until during and after the rut when the bucks live on this stuff.
