when is the best time to put out a salt block/mineral block out. and when is the best place to put one.

From now until about September. Close to deer travel routes. I have found that if you locate it between bedding and feeding area that is secluded the deer will use it any time of the day.

thats right - try're really starting to get into mine now

Tarheeler,
How long have they been hitting yours? I have not seen much action on mine yet. Maybe I need to find better locations.

Only have seem to be at it more for a week or two now
I've just noticed a lot of tracks around them last couple of times down there
I keep mine freshened up at least every other month year round

Just freshened them up last week --- look at the date


Here ya go :) :)

Thanks. I will see what I find this weekend and consider moving if no change.

I put mine in a mud hole type erea= this place was where the rootball of a blown over tree was and left a depression that held water -so they drink the water while its wet and eat the dirt when its dry
I have them on the edge of my foodplots-
I have put every thing from icecream salt to deer cane - black magic etc
Now I have Dicalcium phoosphate-salt -minerals etc

My salt blocks are being hit alot now also. i have trails running into the field my salt block is in, and its half gone already... and pawed at a bit. The field looks like it was stampeded.. Cant wait to hunt it in bow season.

When you find out could you let me know??
