RE: Mineral Licks

I can show you a tree food plot that I completed a few weeks ago that cost me nothing! LOL

I enrolled in a conservation program that paid me to clear a stand of brush and timber and plant 300 trees and shrubs. This will benefit the deer a lot more than mineral licks, and will provide them with browse, berries, nuts, and fruit.

I plan to plant a food plot next year due to time constraints this year. And, it will benefit the deer more than a mineral lick. They will use it year round as opposed to seasonally. Iwill not deny that mineral licks do provide some benefits, but theywere not noticable to me!I'm sure that with the trees and a good year-round food plot the results will be much more noticable and longer lasting.
