I hope everyone saw and read about how easy creating a food plot for your hunting lands can be. Today I want to touch on the topic of minerals and mineral licks. Minerals, and food plots for that matter, have gained much popularity in recent years. In fact, they go hand in hand. Minerals come in different types also, such as powder form, rock form, or block form. No matter the consistency, they all claim to produce the same outcome: whitetail bucks with larger racks.
With so many different brands of mineral out there on the market, how do you decide which is best for you? Well let me tell you what, it’s a matter of personal opinion. All deer minerals are comprised mostly of sodium, with a few other minerals added in. Make sure, though, that you get a brand specifically designed for deer because other brands may not have the extra supplements that deer need to maintain a healthy diet. Go ahead and get different kinds to try around your hunting area. Take notes on how fast the minerals were eaten, how much traffic has been to the site, how big the hole around the mineral has gotten, etc. If you find that one works better than the others then stick with that specific brand. Deer are like humans, they continue to eat things they like! Now is your time to act. Get some minerals, set them out (in the spring/summer for the best results) and watch your average buck turn into a FREAK!
