Got Minerals?

When a hunter hunts, it has to be planned out. When hunting in woodlands for any game normally they will hear you before you can even acknowledge them. Stalking is almost not an option in a heavily wooded area. So you must sit.Unless you plan on just sitting somewhere where you know they are crossing or walking through on a daily basis, you have to have soemthing to draw them in. Here in Missouri you are not allowed to use a decoy for hunting whitetail. You are also not allowed to bait. Baiting is using a food source set down specifically for that hunt. But, you are allowed to use a mineral or salt lick block. There are many kinds of blocks available. Alot of the time you will find deer licking on the salt blocks that are set out in cattle fields. Almost everything in the woods will come and check out a mineral lick. It is not considered a food, just a lick that contains the essential minerals and such to help promote growth. Even if you are not into the hunting sport, blocks still help the wildlife out.
