Mix Concentrate:
1. Select Site.
2. Clear all vegetation in center of site. (approx 4’ circle)
3. Pour Deer Cane into 6-8 gallons of water, stirring the water as Deer Mix is added into the container.
4. Slowly pour this mixture onto the cleared bare spot to allow the solution to soak the site.
For Instant Results... Mix entire contents of bag with 6-8 gallons of water. Apply to a bare spot.
Ready-To-Use Liquid:
1. Select Site.
2. Clear all vegetation in center of site. (approx 4’ circle)
3. Shake Liquid Well.
4. Slowly pour entire gallon of liquid onto the cleared bare spot allowing the solution to soak the site.
For Instant Results... Shake well then apply to a bare spot 4’ in diameter.
Time Release Block:
Place one or two blocks in an established Deer Cane or other mineral site to provide months of attraction without having to return to the site. To establish a new site, place one or two blocks in the middle of a bare spot, 4’ in diameter. Rainfall will be needed to activate the site, allowing the minerals to fully leach into the ground.
For Instant Results... Use in combination with Deer Cane Mix or Deer Cane Liquid.
Sticky Sweet Gel:
Thickly spread over a decaying log or stump and it will slowly soak into the wood making the whole thing a treat that your deer will consume. Reapply until the entire stump or log is consumed. Can be used to create a lick on bare ground by just pouring over the site and letting it soak in.
For Instant Results... Spread over a rotten log or stump.

Once deer have begun actively consuming the minerals you can reapply but not sooner than 30 days after first application. Normally, you would not need to reapply for at least 60 days. If over applications are made to the site, deer will stop using the site until some of the minerals leach out of the site.
Once you have established your site with Deer Cane Mix, use our Deer Cane Time-Release Block to keep your site active for a whole season. Try our Ready-to-Use Deer Cane Liquid to activate or reactivate mineral sites quickly and easily. Deer Cane Gel can be used to coat anything from logs, bare soil and mixed with corn or grain.

| Remember... Deer will create a large wallow and all of the vegetation in the area of an active Deer Cane mineral site will be eaten or destroyed. Therefore, choose your supplemental site carefully and allow for a total active site diameter of 10 feet. |

Picking the right location to establish your Deer Cane site is very important to site success. Deer instinctively want to conceal themselves from predators, therefore we recommend selecting a shaded area on the edge of a deer crossing where deer normally conceal themselves. We also recommend choosing a site at least 10’ off normally active deer trails.
Reasons for not making supplement sites directly on active deer trails:
1. You may put wary bucks on notice that something has changed and risk spooking your buck.
2. Deer Cane sites will grow over time into a large wallow up to 10’ in diameter destroying the trail.
3. The more concealed a site is... the more comfortable the deer will be, so that they will stay longer at the site consuming the minerals.

| Deer Cane works well in a wide range of soil types; but, keep in mind that heavier clay type soils will hold the minerals for a longer period of time; whereas, the sandier soils tend to lose the minerals a little sooner. If you are in a sandy soil area, we recommend using our Deer Cane Time-Release Block to keep the minerals available for a longer period of time. When establishing your mineral site, also consider that acidic soil sites have proven to have heavier deer activity than alkaline soil sites. |

The key is to put out Deer Cane immediately and keep it active to begin patterning deer to your supplement sites. Start now and within weeks you’ll discover Deer Cane drives deer crazy to consume minerals from your sites. Deer Cane works all year, although deer actually consume different amounts of minerals during each season of the year. By instinct deer pattern themselves all year around mineral sources that they can depend on to supply them with the minerals that they need during each season. Deer Cane works like no other product to bring deer into new mineral sites all year long as deer seek out the source of an odor they instinctively need. See the “Mineral Site-Activity Chart” below to know what to expect each season.

MINERAL SITE - ACTIVITY CHART
Early Spring - Heavy consumption of minerals by does carrying fawns, and bucks building up mineral reserves needed in new antler growth after their antler drop.
Spring - Heavy consumption of minerals by lactating does, and by bucks using up mineral reserves growing new racks.
Summer - Consumption of minerals by both does and bucks to aid them in many areas including digestion & antler development.
Fall - Consumption continues into the fall as deer begin to prepare for cold weather.
Winter - Consumption continues throughout the winter period. However, during the rut... doe consumption will increase & buck consumption decreases. Mineral sites are often used by rutting bucks as a scrape and are heavily marked as they look for the does that have frequented their site. |

Deer Cane will drive your deer crazy, as they lick, paw, knaw and mark the site... digging a hole in the ground to get the minerals out. Available in four forms: Mix Concentrate, Ready-to-Use Liquid, Time Release Block and Sticky Sweet Gel.

Deer Cane is a beneficial mineral supplement that attracts deer by releasing a mineral vapor trail. After initial application, moisture will cause these minerals to keep reacting and attracting deer. Bucks seeking minerals for overall health and rack development will be drawn to the site to lick, paw, mark and consume the minerals.
Bucks will want to protect the Deer Cane site by rubbing, scraping and rolling in the mineral site to mark it as their own. The buck’s action will naturally lead to the attraction of more deer. Over time, a large deer wallow will be created as many deer develop the habit of frequenting the site to consume the beneficial minerals.
