Directions

Once you have selected your site, remove all vegetation from the chosen site area approximately 3 feet in diameter. Once the ground is cleared, rake the soil to loosen and make a slight depression in the site so that it will hold some rainfall, making runoff less likely. Spread the entire contents of this container (8 lbs.) over the site area. Do not cover the minerals. If you want immediate deer action on the site, wet site with 5 gallons of water after applying Antler1.

Reapplication: To keep the supplement site established once deer have begun actively consuming the Antler1, you will need to reapply every month. Also, use Antler1 in your active feeding sites to boost the beneficial minerals available in those sites throughout the year.

Site Selection Tips

Picking the right spot to make a supplemental site is very important. Deer instinctively want to conceal themselves from predators, therefore we recommend finding a shaded area on the edge of a deer crossing where deer normally conceal themselves. Choose a site at least 10 feet off of normally active deer trails. Keep in mind that heavier clay type soils will hold the minerals for a longer period of time, whereas the sandier soils tend to have the minerals leach out a little sooner. When possible make supplemental sites near an available water source.

When to Use Antler1

Deer seek sources of minerals for different reasons. Many times deer will frequent a mineral site out of habit and other times they come ready to consume seemingly as much as they can find. The key to providing a good source of minerals is consistency, so put Antler1 out immediately into your mineral sites to start patterning deer to your sites right now. Antler1 has natural attractant added to it to lure deer into your new mineral sites all year long as deer seek out the source of an odor they instinctively need.

Mineral Site - Activity Chart

It is true that deer actually consume different quantities of minerals during each season of the year. By instinct deer will pattern themselves around mineral sources that they can depend on to supply them with the minerals that they need during any given season. Look at the Mineral Site - Activity Chart below to see what to expect during each season.

• Early Spring - Heavy consumption of minerals by does carrying fawns, and bucks building up mineral reserves needed in new antler growth after their antlers drop
• Spring - Heavy consumption of minerals by lactating does, and by bucks using up mineral reserves growing new racks.
• Summer - Consumption of minerals by both does and bucks to aid them in many areas including digestion & antler development.
• Fall - Consumption continues into the fall as deer begin to prepare for cold weather.
• Winter - Consumption continues throughout the winter period. However, during the rut... doe consumption will increase & buck consumption decreases. Mineral sites are often used by rutting bucks as a scrape and are heavily marked as they look for the does that have frequented their site.
