Cant speak for those in particular, but any type of salt will attract deer in the spring and summer.
Biologists recommend calcium and phosphorus for a proper mineral site, not only salt. Just be sure to read the label.
Oh, and here is a link for help on using them effectively. http://bioplots.com/deer_mineral_guide.html
The guide is written primarily for my products, but they should work for any attractant that uses salt.

Mainly they hit them during the spring/ early summer here in wisconsin. Like HossDaniels said read the labels, i put mine out to benefit the young deer and bucks growth. I found some of the more expensive blocks are 90% salt with limited minerals, and some cheaper ones i found were actually more beneficial for the deer with vitamins and minerals.

They love the Trophy Rocks I put out, I have put the Buck Lickers out as well,they always gobble them up in the spring and summer. I like to put mine in a spot where they can feel safe coming to them and I can get some good field cam pics. They are hitting the spots where I put them last year again already in my area,the holes are getting deeper and a lot of hoof prints are all around the sites.
