Trophy Rock Question

[Obsession]

I have a trophy rock mineral site at all my hunting areas. But one spot in particular continues to be hammered. I had 1300 pics in one week. The trophy rock has been gone since August. I have never had deer hitting my sites this late before. Has anyone else experienced this? Am I correct to assume they are deficient in a mineral?

Yes, this is quite common. Some experience year-round use of salt licks.

And no, it doesn't automatically mean a deficiency in minerals, just that the local deer really like salt!

They eat on mine all year

I've got a crater in the ground that was just a piece of rock with loose Redmond salt poured on top this past January. I watched a doe chomping down on the dirt on Saturday morning, they are still eating it fairly regular.

It seems that they almost always leave mine alone thru the winter until about spring green up time.
