How to Use Deer Minerals to Boost Antler Growth
Antler growth is a top priority for deer hunters, and using the right deer minerals for antler growth can make a significant difference. At Pure Whitetail, our Full Throttle Deer Mineral is designed to provide the essential nutrients deer need to grow trophy antlers. In this guide, we’ll explore why minerals matter, how to use them effectively, and how to enhance your mineral site with complementary products. Let’s get started!
Why Deer Minerals Are Essential for Antler Growth
Antler growth is a complex process that requires specific nutrients, especially during the peak growth period from late March to July. Deer need:
- Calcium and Phosphorus: For bone (antler) development - Full Throttle Deer Mineral contains 15-18% Calcium and 9% Phosphorus.
- Zinc and Vitamins: To support overall health - Full Throttle provides 1,500 ppm Zinc and 120,000 IU/lb Vitamin A.
- Low Salt Content: Many mineral blends are loaded with salt (50% or more), which deer don’t need in excess. Full Throttle keeps salt at a maximum of 35%, focusing on the nutrients deer actually need.
Without these nutrients, antler growth can be stunted, leading to smaller racks and weaker deer. A consistent mineral site ensures deer have access to what they need, especially during the critical spring and summer months.
How to Use Full Throttle Deer Mineral for Maximum Results
Using Full Throttle Deer Mineral is simple, and with the right approach, you’ll see bigger antlers and healthier deer. Follow these steps:
- Choose the Right Location: Place your mineral site in an area with high deer traffic, like near a food plot planted with Shady Patch or Clover Xtreme.
- Create the Mineral Site: Pour Full Throttle around a decaying stump or on bare ground. The sweet aroma will attract deer within 24 hours.
- Maintain the Site: Check the site every 1-2 weeks, adding more Full Throttle as needed. Available in 5lb, 10lb, or 25lb sizes, you can choose the right amount for your needs.
- Monitor Usage: Look for signs of deer activity, like tracks or worn ground, to confirm they’re using the site.
