We put out salt and mineral block where we hunt but we put them out in july and august so they have time to dissolve into the ground a little and the deer have time to find them. we tried putting them out in the middle of the season a couple of years ago and didn't get any action on them at all untill it had rained for almost a week staight and then they just ate the dirt around the block to get the minerals. we aslo use peanut butter. we get it from a plant in Mississippi and it's the stuff that they can't use and we get a 55gal drum for $100 and we but it in coke boxes and bury a little and the deer eat HUGE holes in the ground we have one where they ate a 1ft deep hole!!! i will try to get some pics from the gametracker that my dad has and put them on here so you can see it in action.

Where do you get the hardwood spikes and what time do you put them in? i realize it is to late this year but we are always trying to develop our hunting land and the owner is up for anything as long as we pay for it.
