I have heard alot about mineral licks but my question is this. Are the home made potions such as the one mentioned here as effective at growing antlers as the expensive ones you buy out of catalogs? Other than growing horn what do these licks help deer with? I heard it helps does produce more milk for fawns.
These homemade mixes, I assure you, in most cases are much better than the vast majority of commercial offerings. It's certainly the way to go in myopinion.
Besides the horn/bone growing benefits you mentioned these mineral sites WILL also help lactating Doesproduce morenutritious milk in order to get the fawns off to a stronger start. The advantages are many and I believe a mineral station should be a part of every serious QDM'ers plans.
