We had a stump out in front of my uncle's hunting camp that was always full of salt or mineral blocks, apples, sugar beets, etc. We never shot deer at the camp they were for looking at.

I'm certainly no expert on the subject, but I've heard from several people that have put out blocks with no effect.  Then I pointed out this thread to a buddy over the weekend, who recounted a trip into the Enchantments when they literally had to fend off the goats with a hiking pole to keep them from drinking their piss in midstream.  No joke, this guy isn't a BS'er.  I haven't spent a lot of time in the alpine areas, so I'm sure some of you know better than I...but I'm guessing the salt deficiency is greatest at elevation?  Maybe that's why others haven't had any results with them on the westside or at lower elevations?   :dunno:
