Salt Block
Last summer I decided to put a salt block at my tree stand to attract more deer for the season. There was plenty of sign there. When the season came around I didnt see a thing not one deer. Why is this? Do Salt and Mineral blocks actually attract deer to come near your stand after you take them away (since they are used to going there for food?)

RE: Salt Block
We have a number of licks, usually a mixture of trace mineral salt and Di-Cal. Usually the majority of the usage is in the spring and summer. You will probably have more luck hunting near/over food sources or hunting scrapes and trails.
