Homemade Deer Mineral Recipe
 

I am just curious how many of you used it from last year when I posted it?

Also I am also curious what your results might have been.

Mine are still outstanding. From May 10th to June 10th - 25 pictures of which had 33 deer in them. Min. of 10 deer had antlers.

Horntagger- I used it last year with so so results. I put out 150#' s in July of last year. The deer did hit the sites but not like I was expecting. I think that if I would have put them out a little earlier they would have showed more activity. However this year all the sights are being used. It was almost like it took the deer quite a while to find the sites and acutally start using them. Several of the sites have been hit hard here recently. I will take some pics of the sites soon and post them so that you can see what I am talking about.

My buddy and I used it last year, but got it put out kind of late but they attacked it pretty much instantly. In fact during turkey season this year they seemed to have seriously increased activity around them. A great recipe and in fact there were some pretty nice buck around last year, Expecting to see better ones this year, we are pretty sure 3 8pts survived the season and the winter so we' ll see how big they get and if the minerals helped at all.
