Default RE: Best way to set up mineral sites.

Apple over the years I have tried everything to get deer in front of my cams from Trophy Rock to home made mineral licks to Deer Cane and Buck Jam and the best thing I have found is generic 50lb. mineral blocks that you can get at your local feed store for $6.00 each. I have gotten pics of hundreds of bucks using these blocks over the last 2 years.
I dont know what ingredients, salt or trace minerals etc. are in them but then again I dont really care since mineral blocks, licks etc. do nothing to benefit the herd other than providing them with a source of salt but the deer sure do like them!! Just put your minerals/salt out in area's that the deer frequent and they will find and and start using it within a day or 2.
Here are some pics from last year.



























Here is some pics from the last 5 weeks. Pike
