The first bunch was where I had one of those brown mineral blocks all of last year. Its been gone since the end of September last year, but they still have the ground bare where it was.
I went yesterday and built a brand new mineral site. Used the Trace Mineral salt, Di-Cal Phosphate, and rock salt mix. Had a big stump right beside it so put a Trace Mineral block on it as well. Stuck a P32/BF on it so I'll go check it in a couple weeks. Hoping for the best.

Myself and most all of the adults who hunt this small patch stopped killing does two years ago. The PGC has decimated our herd with antlerless allocations. The most we have seen or heard about at one time in the field on the upper ridge, in the last 5 years, is 17 before the early archery season.
