Most deer will LONG forget about the "salt lick" (especially bucks)come October and November. You need to ask yourself why you wanta block near your stand.

I like a good salt lick in the area of my stand - but not next to it. I position a Trail Camera over it - and have a really good idea of the bucks - and other deer - coming and going from the area - from June - into hunting season. However - if I didn't use it with a camera - I can't think of a good reason to keep using salt. The deer just don't even care about salt or minerals after September - at least thats been my experience.
