Here in the great state of Florida we have many passionate outdoors men and women. We have an abundance of wildlife especially in the panhandle where I live. I am really blessed to live where I do, but like most hunters I like the idea of hunting larger bucks each year. Unfortunately Florida is not known for a consistent monster buck harvest. So with that realization I have started to gather information to try and improve the deer that I hunt on a small tract of land.
After a lot of reading, one major area stands out and that is minerals! It seems that not only does the mid west have an abundance of high octane food that is farm grown, but the soil actually has a higher content of needed minerals for healthy deer.
So with this knowledge I will start 2 mineral sites and see as the years progress the impact it has on deer health and rack size. I plan on using trail cameras ( Moultrie) to document the progression. Wish me luck, and remember to continue Outdoordreaming!
