RE: deer cane
save your money! just get some solar salt and if you can some di-calcium from the feed stores like agway. minerals are for the early spring through summer. sure they will rip it up now but come september i dont think they will visit much.

Mineral licks are good however, they lose their effectiveness around mid-August. Also, as mentioned above, save you money on the name brand stuff and mox your own. Here's a great recipe that make 200 lbs of mix.

I guess I am sole commercial guy so far. I have used the stuff for the last three years and have been impressed with how much the deer like it. They dig holes for it...big ones. ;)

RE: deer cane
I use the cane as well and have photos of the 2-3 feet holes they dig up. I love it.
