[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4752932, member: 1409"] Yep, need to comply with the law. But I'm still scratching my head wondering if this new rule (no mineral licks) may actually be counterproductive. Mineral licks are very wide-spread, abundant across the landscape, and each typically lasts for [i]MANY [/i]years. However, by reducing their numbers & not replenishing them, might [u]we actually be causing an[i] INCREASED[/i] concentration of deer[/u] at the [i]FEWER[/i] licks most of which will be "licked" for many years to come? This rule change will not stop the deer from seeking and licking minerals. They are still going to do it, just more deer, more concentrated at fewer sites. Wouldn't more licks cause the deer to be more spread out and less concentrated? [/QUOTE]
