Tried big and J this year, don't know how good it's working yet, black magic worked well to get a lot of pics at a mineral site

Redmond's mineral salt, mined out of the same mine as trophy rock only its ground up.

And 50 lbs for $10!

In my area i see no need to feed them since they have corn, bean, and winter wheat to eat. In my opinion its a waste of money and adds the disturbance factor of going in and out to feed them that turn the big boys to go nocturnal.

If your just looking for something to put in a feeder, then feed them a mixture of different grains, oats wheat, corn, minerals, it gives them what they need. If your looking for something to plant like food plots, then a mixture of grains works well there also, corn is one of the worst things to plant. It's only good for them when it reaches a certain dryness content during that year, it's great cover for them to hide in, but not too good for them. Deer are browsers, so your habitat improvement will be more beneficial to them all year.

I totally agree with WillowRidgeCalls,  I have an acre clover and chicory plot and they are in it constantly but after hinge cutting travel corridors the last few months I have noticed how many deer just browse the corridor nibbling on buds and leaves.  Scoot

6 clover plots about an acre each. Got one plot of soybeans, cow peas and several small grains mixed in. They are flat wearing them out. Right now. As far as mineral licks, I make my own using soda ash, rock salt, and mineral salt mixed together.

Thanks guys I have been feeding them corn and put out a trophy rock and some sportsman choice mineral stuff also have a pretty decent food plot a mixture of clover it a couple of acres they . Haven't seen any in food plot yet . I've got a few pics of a nice 3 yr old 8 point atleast that's my guess and a lot of smaller bucks and does at my corn feeder. The other day when I went to check it there was a doe that would let me get within 15 yds of her she just kept on eating it was pretty awesome experience.  At my other corn feeder that has the trophy rock and other mineral supplements. And a watering hole I made. I don't got a cam on it but yesterday evening there were two small bucks that weren't very scared of me either they let me get around 50 yds or so before they walked off when I got back to the truck they were already back there. I have no idea whats up with these deer this year usually they run to the next county when they see a human. I think there starting to get tamed or something.
