[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 4714843, member: 10373"] We’ve discussed the possibility of covering up the mineral licks on Ames. At least we can try to keep the spreading of the disease down. If each lick saved one deer per year. Over several years it could save hundreds of deer. Deer in one area won’t travel to another area miles away to lick salt. It’s gonna make it more difficult to get a census on cameras. One of the reasons we might have the disease so bad is that several years ago we made a concerted effort to put out salt and dical to see the impact on antler growth. We had licks 1 per 100 acres or 180 licks. Little did we know we were probably contributing to the spread of the disease. We stopped this practice when we learned it did nothing to help antler growth and the native forage had all the minerals a deer needs. [/QUOTE]
