[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5119064, member: 20583"] It's been awhile so I could be mistaken on the source, but I read an article I think from Mississippi State University deer lab that detailed the role of mineral sites. Basically the gist of it was that a buck's antler potential is determined by the mother's health at the time and shortly after conception. The better nourished the mother doe, the more antler potential the buck fawn will express. Otherwise mineral sites offer little or nothing in the way of influencing antler size. I'll dig around and see if I can find that article again. It was pretty interesting. [/QUOTE]
