Anybody use mineral blocks (e.g., salt licks) on private property as attractants? |

I have used salt licks and apples as an attractant this past winter near my families cabin for my trail cam and it worked great, they came in everyday and I got tons of pictures. I don't see why it wouldn't work during the hunting season, but I would place it in an area where you have some pretty good sign, so they are likely to find it. |

I use 30-06 mineral supplement made by The Whitetail Institute. It's a granular form of mineral that you mix in with dirt. I use it for my trail camera set ups. It's great for finding out what kind of bucks are in the area, but I don't know how good it would be for hunting. In my experience the deer primarily are attracted to it in the spring and summer. |

I have 60 lbs showing up anyday now. |

my in-laws have one for the goats, and they can't keep the deer off of it. |
