Things are going well.

Just for example. To make 200 lbs of this mineral but using the store bought stuff that come white and has a name well known.

Would cost you 280 dollars.

I have also bought it at a Co-op Service Center.

The loose kind is what you buy.

Helpful hints from horntagger:

One is best times to put it out is Feburary/March/April and I put all 200 lbs in one hole. This time of year will help more with antler growth, and fawn health.

Also do not make multiple licks unless you are on large tracts of land. Remember deer herd homerange is around 800 acres.

Also keep it in one spot so near the center or the the spot you start hunting. Keeping the deer on our land for the most amount of time increase your odds.

Also I like a water source to be within 100 yards since salt is being used.

If you put it out in the late summer just put 100lbs won't do as much for them now other than salt requirements. But will be a slight draw. Because of shedding of the summer coat begins around August , the deer need the salt so that is the next best time of year to replenish if needed.

new wrinkle I need to add about Mineral licks. Since the September 15th is now Bow season. I highly recommend you hunt over the mineral lick around this time.

I have an untested theory. Your next season will give me answer on this.

One last thing when you put it out do it under a low hanging limb it will end up being a scape also in the same spot.
