Mineral's Question...

Since my boys have started losing their head gear, I want to put out Salt/Minerals for the regrowth...

Now for my question, Would blocks or loose work better?

I seem to like blocks better for some reason. I have better luck with them.

If you want bigger racks then you should buy some protein pellets and mix in with your corn everyday. Many wait til summer to add protein, but I can tell you from experience feeding protein before green up has a dramatic effect in more growth. As for minerals, studies have never proven that they help antler growth, but they do help overall health. I use Buck Lickers Magnum block, it's 50lbs, used almost daily, last over a year and only cost 10 bucks. I've tried the Arm and Hammer recipe and didn't have great results. I've dumped straight trace mineral on the ground and had the deer seek it out. Usually I'll mix the trace mineral into the dirt and dump Buck Jam on top of it. You can use Deer Cane instead of Jam, but I find deer only like to use my Cane in the spring, where as the Jam is used more year round.

Thanks everyone for your input.... I think I am going to go with a protein/mineral block from TSC....
