Default RE: Are 6 mineral salt licks too many on 45 acres

i still find it hard to believe too much salt is a bad thing.i dont think deer get high blood pressure. ive never seen a deer gorge themselves ona lick or come to a lick for more than a couple minutes before moving on. i think they have a natural instict to only use what there body needs. i have cut way back on my salt block areas because i think they will travel to find a lick and dont forget there are natural licks too. as for hunting over them ive never seen a deer use a lick much after september but your area may vary.
