              If you are just trying to get pics of bucks, nothing beats a TSC mineral block. According to studies I've read, the actual mineral sites do the deer very little good. YMMV

                I tried all these homemade recipes and had no luck. Nothing

                  Last year I used “Antler King”, and spent a lot of time putting it in (what I thought) was perfect place. I heavy used natural travel route near fresh water in heavy cover with shade. I have a low density herd on this place and they went through almost 3 bags from feb to September (I think they were 20# bags).

                  By far best results as far as consumption goes that I’ve ever had from any mineral. And I don’t know what to attribute the usage too? Site location, preference, overall lack of whatever this product had.

                  Will be using again

                    I just use the trace mineral blocks from TSC, they seems to work as good as anything else.

                      Trace mineral blocks from TSC works for me as well. Easy and cheap to put out

                          Are you just pouring out a powder or forming in into blocks somehow? I like the blocks as they seem to last longer.

                            This will be a spot I refresh about once a month to keep going and hopefully keep the deer going mix into the soil and pour on top

                              You just pick a spot and pour it out on bare soil? Are the deer licking the dirt?
