Those nutrients will help deer and elk grow their antlers. Good idea!

I think hes just saying that if you are picking up sheds, to dump some minerals to help them grow their antlers back. Not necessarily the same deer that dropped, but just bucks in general. :dunno:

Post by: nwwanderer on May 28, 2020, 05:30:36 PM: Correct, and it would be a mix of calcium, phos, selenium, minor micros and salt to promote consumption. Would not always put it where you found sheds, you know your deer, put it where they summer
