I use deer cain. Its cheap and it works. They all seem to work great. Ive use bags of trace mineral, the trace mineral blocks and trophy rock as well. I can't tell any difference. If u have a stump you need to remove they are great for that. Another thing ive noticed is they seem to like it in areas that are well drained. I have a red clay knob lick that's four years old and it looks like a mortar hit it.
Trophy rock
I get trophy rock and a regular white salt block together.

Use trophy rocks will also middle of the summer put a white salt block in some as well. The bags that are already crushed are technically the nest bag for you buck but I use the actual rock. You can make your own as well. We only have 6 mineral site total so 2 rocks a year each isn't a ton of money in the grand scheme of things. I mainly use them for summer pictures. I don't think they really provide anything major for deer. Could be wrong but I don't think so.

Grape Kool aid. Go ahead and laugh until you try it then you won't laugh anymore
Mix it up pour out or just the powder straight on the ground
I like trophy rock and Whitetail Institute 30-06.
I have no idea what benefits deer get from minerals and/or salt but it's unmistakable how pregnant does, summer bucks, and young deer in general really enjoy them. Do they make antlers bigger? Who knows? But it sure seems when growing is happening, they're hitting minerals hard.

Can't use them here anymore, but trophy rocks and deer cain always worked well for minerals for me.

I use deercane and salt but they really love meat curing salt but it is more costly!!I have started buying table salt in the boxes at the grocery store,alot cheaper!!
I use livestock mineral blocks last longer and cheaper than trophy rock
I have tried a lot over the years. Trophy rock in the bag, and the brown salt blocks from TSC do the job . This last winter I bought this lick magic on clearance , wish I would have bought all they had . Never seen deer wear something out like this. Not legal during season though

Best thing I've used is general purpose cattle mineral with high magnesium from CO-OP. Deer in my neck of the woods loved it.

LOL, probably.
I hunt a two acre funnel and can kill a dozen deer without any attractant.
Just being a bit facetious, I was.

This if I can find it. Typically just a bag of trace mineral from coop once in February and once in August.
