Default Mineral sights...am I overdoing it?

Mineral sights for cameras.

I will be the first to admit I may overdo it slightly, but Ive gone through 3 bags of "rack up" mineral attractant in 3 different locations. In each I have various salt/licking blocks with persimmon, apples, and corn compressed into a block. I have a Southern States closeby and have gone through 150#'s spreading deer corn with molasses around these sights, along with buckets of pears from my trees in back yard. I do this where I have cams set up to stop the long enough for a picture, but in some ways all of this food and minerals, out in the forest doesn not look natural, and wondering if it may spook the deer? Other than my possible scent fromclearing the ground.

Any suggestions, or should I continue. Imtrying to get the deer to get used to theselocation for their daily fix...hopefully to have them return regularly. Is it possible to spook the deer with this much "unnatural food sources"?
