Default Question...

Wanting to put out some minerals this year, was wondering a good mineral product to use and when I should start putting them out. Also a good place to put them. I live in Logan County, WV. Thanks..

I've heard good things about "Trophy Rock" being a longer-lasting attractant block than most. What is your goal in putting them out?

Why not just keep licks available year round for the deer. They will go to them some all the time. I just use a 50/50 mixture of Di-Cal and loose trace mineral salt dug in the ground.

Mineral Licks are illegal in NY the last several years. I used to put out some licks, because I felt they could only help. Now, I try to plant plots that make these same nutrients as "readily available" as possible - and I'm not sure that a good plot might even be better than a mineral mix.

I use Trophy Rock. Keep minerals available year round if legal where you hunt.
