RE: Are 6 mineral salt licks too many on 45 acres
If you are doing this to benefit the deer make sure to limit the amount of salt in your lick. Too much salt is bad for deer just as it is for humans. I think Dr. Kroll suggests no more than 13% salt in your mix. If you want I can check on that number. There's a cattle mineral mix made that has a high calcium/low sodium mix made by Southern States. I recommend using that. One lick should be enough for that size area. I'd put it in a thick area near the center of the property and make that a sanctuary and hunt the approaches to the thicket but not directly on the thicket.
