The Power of Mineral Sites
Posted by DDH Staff

Do mineral sites really attract bucks during spring and summer? You would be the judge. Faithful D&DH reader Dave Lewis captured this image last Thursday with his Stealth Cam trail camera. Both bucks appear to be in top shape. "These are Pennsylvania bucks where (growth) like this is not supposed to happen, but it goes to show that QDM can work anywhere!" Dave wrote.

Before setting up mineral sites on your property, be sure to check with your local game regulations. Some states prohibit mineral sites due to the presence of diseases such as chronic wasting disease.

I'm a firm believer in mineral sites. They do attract bucks AND does. We run three on our 100 acres - all three are getting hit hard this year.

I have to say that deer are more attracted to the salt then the minerals themselves. Cwd is a consern in IL. which is why baiting is illegal here. Unless you work for the DNR,then you can use salt/ bait to perform herd census reports with game cams. I'd like to think that supplemental mineral attractants improve herd health. The facts are no evidence of that has be proven by researching the effects on free range deer.
