Salt licks to draw deer into the yard

my Dad put them out for cows

They like pumpkins , apples , corn on cob .
Not a big fan cus they eat all cat foot I leave for outdoor cats

Hey
ask an expert
I was born and raised in Salt Lick, Kentucky.
I can tell you them things is salty and animules love to lick em.
Hunters go to jail if they get caught shootin deer offn em.

Salt is a rare substance out in the woods and the deer all crave it. They'll like you real gud.

Just let my German Shepherd out for the night and there were 4 big does in my yard and they all scattered in different directions, my dog didn't know which one to chase...lol

But to your salt licks I would add a couple of handfuls of deer corn that you can also get from a co op store and that is usually guaranteed to bring some in...maybe a squirrel or 2 as well tho.

some ppl livestream their security cams on youtube of deer at feeding troughs, etc.....they get mad views and chat is busy

Alfalfa, corn,oats,licks and French fries.

... damn right -- they're better than yours ...

Fantastic idea.

Is it good for them to eat salt if not found in their habitat and corn FFS

My friend worked in the woods and the guys would take a leak outside the campsite. Turns out deer would come around and lick their dried urine, he said because they wanted the salt. Just another idea OP.

Must suck to be a cat with no feet

My buck did fine on raw cows milk...

Thank you all for these great ideas.

Here an orphaned dear who was rise sucking milk from cows had to be put down. Even when grown up he was addicted to the milk and pestering and even harming cows for it.

Someone said that human urine smells similar to doe urine, after it dries for a couple of days. It's supposed to attract buck. Don't know if it's true.

I've been feeding the deer here for decades.
They really love cracked corn. Sometimes I'll put out some apples, or old bread.
Recently, I gave the squirrels some old pistachios, and was surprised when the deer started eating them, with the shell.
Probably because of the salt.
