Whats wierd at my property that isn't very far out of town and isn't close to the one earlier stated is I had deer hit mineral august- now all winter long and fall. I only owned it since August of last year somaybe it will change since they will have plenty all year long this time.

I find that deer and elk pretty much quit hitting my mineral sites in August.

As soon as the velvet comes off the cravings go away.

I don't know. I have pretty much only ever used salt at my camera sites. I don't bait those sites to hunt over, so I never really worried too much about hunting season timing. Last year I did have a buddy hunt one of them in a ground blind for a day or 2 and he dumped some bag of deer corn or something like that he bought at Walmart and they seemed to like that based on the pictures, but that was a 1 time deal.
