Best Deer Mineral

JUST WANDERING WHAT IS THE BEST MINERAL TO FEED DEER AND KEEP EM COMING BACK..........

corn and crushed acorns....

also saw video of crushed beets.....
anything else and you are just paying for nothing. We have used everything on the market and have trail cams showing them walking over the deer cocain, and everything from some syrup stuff to a rock looking attractant and they havent even touched it yet. I still keep the cam up to watch progress of my deer and they still wont touch anything but the corn and acorns.

maybe somebody else has had better luck than we have. I just know we have spent a lot of money the past few years on useless names. save your money and buy corn. half as cheap and you get 10 times more for the money.

Two questions sum up life....
Why am I here ? And Where am I headed.

Corn is probably best as a feed. As a mineral trace mineralized salt works good in big areas of the poorest sandy land around. Looks like Florida type land. Also dolomite agricutural lime has Calcium and Magnessium and a little pile might cost $2 and last years. Put out side by side they dig out what they want. The bad thing is it attracts wild hogs better than deer. They wallow in it. I ca't say it grows bigger racks but they use it sometimes sprig or fall. They freshen it up and eat dirt where there hasn't been any put out in years sometimes.

Doesn't seem to work near as much in good cropland areas. Lime piles everywhere i guess.

After eating most of my shrubs and small evergreen trees in my yard this winter I vote foe LEAD. LOL!

COPPER!.......100Gr. doses injected @ about 3450fps into the front half of the chest about mid-line. Lead can be substituted, but should be wrapped in copper to ensure propper delivery.

AM NOT WANTING FEED BUT SOME KINDA MINERAL THAT DEER REALLY LOVE TO KEEPEM IN THE AREA....

There is a lot of hype about high dollar deer minerals out there. I just keep out cheap trace mineral blocks. They love them and I figure they are what is recomended for livestock, can deer be that much different?

Goat mineral,dig a hole chopped the dirt up as fine
as you can mix the mineral in. Leave about 1/4 of
the bag to pour on top. Start this during a dry period.
Works good for me,and is much cheaper than any
of the deer minerals.

If your just wanting to keep them coming around. Regular ol rock salt will do it. I normally buy about 5 trace mineral blocks and place around our property. Then about Aug. I start putting out corn beside it. Hang my trail cams and see what's made it.

Ever notice how people from the south can't seem to shoot anything without feeding it first? Coons, deer, whatever, they can't seem to find without feeding it. Daniel Boones they ain't.

Tyler a good salt source sure will keep deer in a area from may through sept. Same bucks will hit it night after night through these months. Once mid sept comes around. They don't use minerals or salt much anymore. They don't hang around but corn will still get pics of them every few days. If you really wanna boost em up. About now you can feed them cotton seed mill mixed with corn. Don't take much its high in protein. So is Kudzu. I have bunches of it. No need for summer plots. They stay in it. These new kudzu bugs are about to tote me off though. I hate em.

Come on now! No need to be trashin on us southerners. My dog trees plenty of coons that aint fed and i kill plenty of deer every year that aint either. lol

minerals

salt is just an attractive for deer. deer need three minerals for optimal antler growth and i might be wrong on the three( pottasium, calcium, and maganesse. if the concentration of minerals is to high in the ground they will not use it until it leaches out. and as corn not a fan. most people dont realize that it has mold on it. feed suppliers cant sell it for stock feed above a certain percentage of mold, so the sell it as DEER CORN. if you wouldnt feed it to your livestock why would you feed it to your deer population. just my opinion

.

My Son who lives in Knoxville and two of his hunting buddies drove up to KY and got some of the Trophy Rock from some guys property last weekend. I think they got a trailer load and it was something like $25 a rock or two for $25 just not 100% sure.
They think the stuff is great!!

We use stump lick and mix corn in it it forms like a brittle but deer love it we have used come er deer trophy rock swamp donkey and tried alpha max last year and alot more but the stump lick worked great and the swamp donkey worker good also the come er deer to us was junk did not like it at all but some do good luck
