Questions & Answers
This is something I've been using for a long time and it's fantastic. But why pay twice as much for it when Sportsmans Guide has it for $17? 99? I can also buy it for less than $20 at Tractor Supply. This is a fantastic product, but it must be purchased.
Why mix ? It works, and this stuff is also an attractant!
Although I do not live in Florida, deer enjoy apples in the same way that people enjoy pizza or ice cream. They come from all over, especially if the food is free! I've been using this product in Pennsylvania for several years, and the deer prefer it to any other brand I've tried.
Because it is a mineral, it is likely to be beneficial to them at any time of year. In fact, I was just looking at an old bucket that said it could be used all year. If you want bigger racks, spring and summer are the best times to go, but for healthier deer, any time is fine.

There are more appropriate deer setups than this. They're hoping you'll buy it all year. This crap isn't as good for your deer as dicalcium phosphate is. It's something I've been using for a long time. 100 lbs. salt, 100 lbs. trace minerals, and 50 lbs. dicalcium phosphate Bucks will have antlers like you've never seen before. a lot less than what these cretins are demanding. Buy their B or live and learn.
This is a favorite of the deer in our area. I use it on stumps and large fallen branches, and the branch or stump is gone in about a year. They return for at least a year after dumping their belongings. It's a fantastic product that appears to help in areas where minerals are deficient. On my trailcam in one location, I was getting about 1000 pictures per week.
It's a complete waste of money because it doesn't work. Even if it is mixed with food, deer will not approach it. Buy a salt lick with the money you saved.
It's a good product, but it's a little pricey. I go through a lot throughout the year, but after only two years of consistent use, I've noticed some nice growth on the 2-year mark. In the area, I have three-year-old bucks. Deer seem to prefer my foodplot/mineral and have recently begun bedding down just a stones throw away as I hunt about 44 acres of private land that also butts up to other private hunting land.
I've used Lucky Buck in the past, and the deer seem to enjoy it. It's ideal for calculating herd count and sex ratios with trail cameras. They can't seem to stay away, so you get a lot of "pink nose" photos. I got this bucket to mix with protein pellets because I'm introducing the deer to a new pellet and the best way to do that is to mix it with something they like until they get a taste for it. I've had deer "eat a hole" in the ground where this stuff is poured out before.
They won't eat any corn that comes into contact with it. This is a product that I strongly oppose.
I was initially skeptical because I had never used this attractant, or any attractant for that matter. br>br>It was the last night of muzzleloader season, and I had set this up in an open area near where we had scouted some nice bucks. br>br>As the sun began to set, a few does emerged from the woods and began feeding in the vicinity. The three dogs stayed in the area rather than going over to the pile. They had moved on after about 20 minutes. My guess is that the buck lingered in the brush to make sure everything was in order before moving on, because about 15 minutes later, a nice eight pointer appears and charges straight for the lucky buck pile. He came to a complete stop in front of me and shot me in the broadside. The finished product is now on my wall. br>br>.
I'm not sure if this is different from last year, but the deer aren't as excited as they were last year. br>It's not a good idea to try it.
