I use trophy rocks (which are very quickly destroyed). Where I hunt is surrounded by corn and bean fields so a food plot wont really do me any good. So I turn to minerals and salts to attract them and it does this very well. Between the trophy rock, deer cane products, and Record Rack (BioLogic) Golden Deer Nuggets, I usually don't have any trouble bringing them in and over the last 2-3 years I have noticed a lot of change/growth as to what I was seeing before I started adding to their diets! Give it a shot! fairly cheap route to go and still pretty successful for me!
