Yes, we use mineral. We put ours out beginning in late spring through the summer months. This allows the bucks to recieve the proper mineral for antler production and it helps with the does who are lactating.

We currently use EarthQuake Tub Rack Ehancer made by Maximum Draw Products. They are located in Western KY. Their mineral has everything and I mean EVERYTHING the deer need and then some. We get the 10lb tubs and they last about 4-6 months depending on site usage. The cost is really reasonable at $15.00 per tub. This is the second year we have used their mineral and it works when nothing else will. We are very pleased.

They also have a wonderful food plot mix as well. You can check their products out at www.maximumdraw.com

Take Care,
