dogdoc Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 nope--haven't tried that. My dad puts out protein tubs for cattle during the winter and I see a few deer prints around the tub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeaveragehunter Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I would try anything once. What made you go with minerals for goats? Or is that the name of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter109 Posted February 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 well we are goat farmers and thats what we give them well it is also that goats are in the deer fam so i was just wondering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Well sure I would. Deer are curious and even if they dont like it they will show up to investigate it. Apple bar horse treats work pretty darn well for getting the deer in as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBR12 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Let us know how it goes. Sometimes they will be hesitant to try something like that. If so may try pouring a few cups of corn on it every couple of days. This will get them licking it to get the corn and then if they like it they will stick with it. I'm sure it would have some valuable minerals for them. They may only use it certain times of the year when they need those minerals.
