You know there is going to be residual minerals in the soil. I mean, what is the difference between putting out buck urine to attract a buck during pre rut or estrus urine during the rut vs putting out a mineral supplement? They are all considered attractants aren't they? The only difference is that the minerals benefit the deer. Oh yeah that must be it. God knows, the PGC doesn't want healthy deer, only dead deer.
If you put the minerals out in the spring and hunted in the fall - you would be ok - read your book.
There is a section there that explains what they call bait.
Bait can include a apple tree or corn or trying to use artificial corn or a decoy to harvest a deer or turkey.

As far as that goes, you can buy a manufactured tent and sit inside of it and be ok, but you cannot pile up some logs and hide inside of the log pile.
