Mineral block for me. I set one out for 1 week about 3 months ago and the deer are still eating the ground. I have a hole about 2 feet across and 1 foot deep. It may be bigger now as I haven't checked it out for a couple of months. Here in Indiana we can set bait out but need to remove it at least 10 days before the season starts. I only use it for my trail cam.

I've had better luck with the mineral.... The mineral blocks, well most of them anyway have salt in them.

I use a regular salt block but it really doesnt bring them in from everywhere. They usually eat the dirt around it from where the rain is washing it away. I also have a Dumor horse block that they like. It has alfalfa, corn, soybeans, applesand all kinds of stuff that deer love all packed into a block and they seem to eat it pretty good.

I use the homemade recipe. Its worked good so far. I usually will use some corn in the summer if i really want to "take inventory"
