[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5649320, member: 17"] Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying it has no benefit. I'm saying the benefit is low enough that it cannot be measured in free-ranging deer. But I absolutely believe it is useful to deer. Otherwise, they wouldn't focus on it so heavily in the summer months. Deer have an amazing ability to consume what their bodies need at the time. As you mentioned, lactation in does and then mineralization of bucks' antlers in late summer see peaks in salt usage by each sex, respectively. But scientifically, if you look at what has been shown to strongly benefit deer - such as habitat and population management - I try to focus my efforts on what I know will produce the most results.
