ANTLER ENHANCEMENT , what to USE?
 

What is the most economical, easiest way to increase antler growth? I live in the U.P. of Michigan, where Antlers dont grow much and there isnt much mineral or feed for deer. And the Winter kill is usually pretty harsh.

Here is a mineral recipe from the Missouri DNR that a member alwyshntn gave me.

50lbs Stock Salt
100lbs of unmedicated trace mineral
50lbs of dicalcium phosphate

Will run you about $25 at your local feed mill.

After the first application you renew tthe site after 6 months. Once a year then after.

Oh, Wow....What do you do? Just spread it out or what?

Dig a hole 6 inches deep by 3 foot or so round. Dump the minerals in the hole and throw the dirt back on top of the minerals and mix it together well.

Dig out a 3 foot hole about 10-12 inches deep and turn the dirt over. Mix in the mineral with the loose soil and your done. Our bucks are hitting ours already. It's also a good start for new fawns and lactating mothers.

Would this be considered baiting? Because I dont want to be found with a hole in the vicinity of my stand. Ive seen what salt block holes look like, and that would probably happen with this too.
