    What products do you guys like to use at your mineral sites and when do you start using them?

    Monster Raxx ;) I never really stop but use far less this time of year as the deer just aren't using them as much. Jan-Feb I will start the regular routine.

    What he said ^^ except I usually start my routine in March as much of February snow is a factor.

    Just curious what you routines are? I have never used a mineral site and I don't know any one who does either.

    My best luck has always been with trace minerals and salt (For cows).

    Rake 3-5ft circle, I like to make a small pit in the middle to hold water, loosen soil, mix MR around, hang cam, check every 3-4 weeks. On new sites I'll add some MR attractants aswell. Apple Harvest is my favorite.

    I prefer my MR on stumps, seem to have better luck that way.

    I personally prefer to not waste my money on just another one of the many scams directed at hunters. My favorite is either the pink powder or the glob of goo that you hang from a tree and it melts and drops acorns. Deer cocaine is pretty funny too. So is that machine that makes cancer causing ozone. I'll stop now.
