One of the guy's that works for me asked if we were getting alot of deer hitting our salt.
I told him I didn't know for sure, because I haven't checked our salt & cameras.Also that we use Trophy Rock mostly, and Deer cane!!
But I was going to the Farm this weekend and would check,
Why? I ask!
He says he bought and put out a White salt block, like he does every year. put's it out in the same location on his property every year.
This year he has noticed that neither the Deer nor the Horses were touching it.
He says there are deer tracks everywhere, all around it. But nothing seems to be touching the salt.
He has a Camera, Wildgame innovations IR4, that is at Wildgame being repaired. (It just quit working.)
He is going to put it over the salt if he ever gets it back. they have had it 6 weeks now.
Anyway, just wanted to ask if anyone else was having this problem!

Winchester might be on to something with that..
They should be hitting it hard right now, Our TR's are almost gone, and the Trace mineral is getting wore out too
