Trophy rock

[Tap]

Since there are no studies to show that mineral supplements benefit the health of free ranging deer, I no longer use them. I assessed that the risk of disease spread from point source attractants far outweighed any benefit I was getting from close-up pictures. The reason there are no studies to show mineral supplements benefit free ranging deer is that their native diet is so varied. Each plant has different capabilities for mining different trace minerals. It turns out that the best mineral delivery system are plants.

So, I now spread my minerals over my food plots in the from of N-P-K and any trace minerals my soil tests call for. Not only do the deer get the minerals, they get the energy and nutrition from the plants themselves.

Thanks,

Jack

I don't do it because it helps them. I do it to get pics.

A cam on a licking branch in the right spot will get pics of nearly every buck on the property.
