[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5136344, member: 20583"] I once heard it explained that putting mineral where the dirt composition is unpalatable is akin to putting mustard on a jelly sandwich, and deer won't touch it because it tastes bad. I don't know the validity but I've never heard a better explanation. I've experienced exactly what you describe and it's a head scratcher. On my spot here in TN I put two mineral sites out, one of which was down on the flood plane about 60yds from the creek. Deer are constantly on the one up high but completely avoid the one down low, even though their trail brings them within inches of it. Same mineral, same set-up, just different dirt under it.
