Default RE: Mineral lick and Slat blocks

Now I don't put out mineral or salt blocks at all for deer but I do put them out for cattle. We have one pasture that we run cattle in from about June 1st or so until October, 30ish acres or so. The blocks are generally in one area. This area, even with no blocks, gets torn to all get up every spring before we send the cows over there. The deer and everyhting just dig and lick this patch up becasueof all the salt and minerals that have leached into the soil there. This year, probably not so much with being that we switched from blocks to loose mineral in a feeder but in the past it was always interesting.
