Best time to put out Minerals
If a guy were so inclined - when would be the best time/season to put out minerals for deer?
I think I remember reading that summer and fall minerals do not benefitial the herd.

I've been researching this matter for a while now and found that the end of winter through the summer is the best time for mineral's .April sound's right to me and that's when I was planning to put mine out .

Early spring (Feb, Mar) salt with some minerals, deer need salt to assist with getting enough water with new spring growth diet. Then April/May put out minerals, salt & Di-Cal mix lighter on salt. This is when they need minerals and calcium for antler growth and nursing fawns.
At least this is the way I understand it.
