NBA - I don' t think it will draw them off of the mineral and salt for the cows unless you put it on the path that they travel and cut them off before they get to it is my only suggestion.

WVHunter - In my studies of deer movement 80% of the movement is at night with no hunting pressure so yes alot of my pictures are at night.

Just - you should be able to get most of the mineral at a CO-OP or any place that sells cattle feed.

Xibow - Yes you can make multiple location but I would not put less than 100 lbs in one spot. I typical start the year out with 200 lbs in the fawning and antler growth season. Then in the fall put in one last 100 lbs.

No water is needed it will draw moisture out of the ground typically in that area and it should rain something enough to mix it with the soil. I do at least twice a year turn ground over with a shovel. Becuase they beat it down with the hooves.

I spent the weekend night getting 1998, 1999, part of 2002 and all of 2003 hope this you will enjoy the pictures from mineral in 2003.
