    What are the best "Vitamin & Nutrient" suppliments or powders to help deer with their Nutrition. I put out a trophy rock last year. I don't know if it helps grow the antlers but it sure does get the deer(and other wildlife including bobcats, Turkey, house cats, Raccons) on the trail cam. There are so many options, Deer Cane, Bondimonium, MonsterRaxx, Craze...I could go on and on. Are these products worth it? Do they really help add mass and inches and how many more inches are added as to Age vs nutrition.

    I think most of these deer in these pictures are 120 inch and 2.5-3.5 years of age. How many inches should they gain on average for next year. None of these deer were harvested by me or any of the neighbors. Its been a very mild winter here in Central Missouri so these deer should not have a hard time finding food.

    This pic is of the following 2 (nice 8 and broken 9) about to fight. Didnt get any of the fight on camera it was just to the right of it I guess. But the 10 pt is now a 9.

    Anybody guess the ages of these deer and how big they are now and estimate how big they will be next year?

    Obviously I am biased, but for good reason look on the back of the package and look at what is in the product. Trophy Rock is almost all salt, deer cane is as well. I know deer will eat salt but they do not need that much. Companies use salt because it is CHEAP and they use the salt as the attractant as well. We have less salt an a attractant built in the give the deer more of what they need.
