@whitetailhill: If the bucks are small on your property, it could be your fault… Too many people neglect minerals until right before the season, but the benefit happens in spring and summer. That’s when bucks are growing antlers and does are supporting fawn development. If you wait until late summer or fall to think about supplying those minerals they’re not going to do much. Year-round minerals are part of the foundation for bigger, healthier deer. Now we’re not saying putting out a mineral site will make up for your neighbors shooting every spike that walks through. What we are saying is that to grow giants they need good nutrition and if you want to be sure they’ve got all the minerals they need then you should be keeping mineral sites active year-round. - - - - #WhitetailDeer #foodplot #DeerHunting #BigBuck #chestnuts
