Default RE: When to put out mineral blocks

Reccommended by John Weis is putting out mineral blocks inthe spring and early summer becuase that's when deer's body metabolisms actaully develop a strong craving for minerals, causing bucks and does to repeatedly visit licks every day and each time remain for somtimes extended periods.

Also reccommends one mineral block per 40 acres.Try and go for mineral blocks with highest amounts of sodium, zinc, manganese, phosphorus, calcium, and copper with lower amounts of vitamins A, D, and E, potassium, cobalt, selenium, and iodine. Good Luck.
