    Ive created a nice mineral site using monster raxx and deer seem to be liking it. I am wondering, should i hunt over this mineral site come bow season or just let the deer eat those minerals and continue to moniter it with the trail camera?

    First make sure it is legal in your state to hunt near a mineral site. I have mineral sites near my stand locations and it is legal to hunt deer by mineral sites here in Minnesota. I like to have my mineral sites near water and in funnels and that is where I hang stands as well. Good luck this season, I am looking forward to pics.

    I have had mineral sites out for 20 yrs and they are the best way to log the bucks in your hunting area! i know of some hunters that hunt close to there mineral and have good luck.But myself i tend to leave them alone.I think it would just depend on your spot more than anything !!
