Plain old 50 lb white salt block,draws the Deer in year round,also tried a new lick called the Arm & Hammer Salt Lick and I have also used the "Lucky Buck" minerals and the Deer really like it and it has a higher mineral content than most other mineral on the market!



Arm & Hammer Salt Lick
Take a 55 oz ( 3 lb 7 oz) box of Arm & Hammer all natural Super Washing Soda in the yellow box and about 20-30 lbs of rock salt or even water softener salt pelts,pick a good spot where You can break up the ground with a shovel in a 4 foot by 4 foot area/circle or smaller.Spread about 1/2 the A&H on top of the well broken up soil then take around 20-30lbs of salt and spread it on top of the A&H,then spread the rest of the A&H Soda on top of the salt.You can add a little more A&H and salt a few months later or as needed.We usually add some corn,acorn rage or other attractant so the Deer find the A&H Salt lick,be sure to follow any Game Laws in Your State regarding using any minerals or bait/grain type materials.
