Mineral sites and spring feeding for deer

I always use the sack of red powder minerals for cattle. Deer hammer it the entire summer and early fall and It’s way cheaper than anything marketed for deer

i was a non-believer until i tried trophy rock and mana pro goat supplement for minerals and rice bran pellets for protein, the results were shocking in one antler growing season...

Trophy rocks are just salt blocks with trace minerals. They're decent attractants but they're mostly marketing hype for the money.

I buy stock salt and mineral and mix them in a hole. You can use di-cal but it's kinda tough to find in some places. Pre-mixed livestock minerals will be about 25% salt so just read the label, but deer are attracted to the salt not the mineral so I tend to add more. You'll want one that's as close to 2:1 calcium to phosphorus as you can get, but most are close as is.
