Mineral Site Hacks for 2025

“I have several mineral licks scattered on this mountain and get great images of deer that often aren’t seen,” said the experienced hunter.  “I find an old stump in a good hunting spot, use an electric drill to make holes in the stump, and then cover it with minerals.  Over the next year or two, deer will eat the stump and the minerals.”  This hack will provide a long-term attractant and allow deer to fulfill their mineral needs continually.  Place a camera near the lick to monitor the size of deer visiting the lick.

Lucky Buck

Providing wild deer with minerals is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to help the deer in your area. Deer minerals like Lucky Buck contain minerals that deer need but don’t often eat regularly. During the spring and summer, deer crave minerals. If you provide the minerals, the deer won’t need to travel to someone else’s property to get them.  Lucky Buck

Big Tine Nitro Block

All the great antler-building components in Big Tine’s Nitro Mineral are pressed into a convenient and ready-to-use block. When hunters want to supplement but face issues like not living near their hunting property or having the time to recharge mineral sites regularly, the Nitro Mineral Brick fills that void. Deer can consume the block and continue using the site long after the block is gone due to the nutrients leached into the soil.  I’ve used these block with great success and have deer visit them continually.  Also, bucks seem to visit them more in daylight than food products.  Big Tine
