As spring is here, and after reading about all the QDM issues and helping the herd, along with food plot questions, i was wondering what would be the best thing to do on my property. i own alittle more than 50 acres, so obviously its not the best situation, but i still plan on planting a small food plot in the next couple of weeks. I figure it cant hurt at all and will draw some more deer to the area. My question is, after having dinner with my hunting buddy last night, he was saying that the deer will produce larger racks if i placed mineral or salt licks out. Is this true? If so, do you think it would help? i know that the deer are obviously moving off my property, but the area is lightly hunted and figure it cant hurt. If it will help, how much potential growth could a buck gain from the use of a food plot and mineral lick? What is the best way of going about placing out a mineral lick, just throw it out in the woods, or is more involved than that. Thanks for the input.
