Do any of you guys or gals use minerals for a supplement or as an attractant? If so, what brand? Any and all info is greatly appreciated!

99.9999999% of all of these things are OVER PRICED GIMMICKS!!!

if you want to make a mineral sight, just do this.


Buy a bag of crushed red range mineral from any feed store, then take a shoverl and chop up a 3' diameter circle of earth thats about 6" deep.

then pour in 20ish pounds of the mineral and mix it in with the dirt, then pour 5ish gallons of pond/creek water over it to help disolve it.

Go ahead and do it now and it will help them get through the summer and help them recover from dropping fawns and growing horns.

When you make a mineral lick like that does it attract cattle? I mean we have cows on our place and if we build a fence it has to be paneling. I don't want to really build a couple of pins for something like this. I don't so much care if attracts the cattle in there as long as it doesn't get wasted on them.

First of all when I do this I dont do it around feeders, I do it way back in the woods and set up a game camera and dont check but every couple of months.
