Spring is a fantastic time of the year to put mineral down for deer. Coming off a tough winter, the deer are depleted of essential vitamins and minerals.

Lucky Draw Mineral Attractant has the needed bone-growth and milk producing minerals like calcium, magnesium and phosphorus.

Also added to our mineral is selenium. This mineral is important for reproduction and a healthy immune system. Selenium works in conjunction with Vitamin E in the body. Most soils in the U.S. are deficient in selenium so supplementation is beneficial. Lucky Draw also has vitamin D, E, and A.

Vitamin A - The needed ingredients for vitamin A are typically abundant in lush forage, but they are low in mature or drought stricken forage. Deer under stress such as antler growth, rut recovery, or lactation have a higher vitamin A requirement than normal and can benefit from supplementation. Vitamin A plays a role in eye health, the immune system, and bone growth.

Vitamin D is required for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the intestine and their deposition in the bone matrix. Signs of vitamin D deficiency are similar to a calcium or phosphorus deficiency.

Vitamin E is usually present in the diet in sufficient quantities for deer. A selenium deficiency could lead to an apparent deficiency of vitamin E. Vitamin E can be helpful for short-term periods of stress such as lactation.

Lucky Draw Mineral Attractant also has zinc and copper. Zinc is deficient in many parts of the U.S. Zinc is a component of many enzymes and is important for the immune system, male reproduction, skin, and hoof health. Deer have a limited ability to store zinc and supplementation is usually necessary.

Copper is probably the most common micro-mineral deficiency in deer. It is important for fertility and immunity. Many parts of the U.S. have soil types that are severely deficient in copper and thus most deer need copper supplementation. Inadequate copper levels cause poor fertility and a weakened immune system.

Mineral sites offer a great way to ensure that your deer will always have access to bone building nutrients when they need them. Keep them available year round. Deer are rebuilding their skeletal systems even after antler growth and lactation is complete!
