Not shy deerman. just that I did a reply to a post previously explaining the way that I do it (and it works)
here it is again.
1; find a suitable location for the lick, preferably with a decent sized stump or log that is beginning to break down.
2; get yourself a few 25kg sacks of rock salt (the white stuff they use for roads/footpaths) and some concentrated aniseed.
3; try to open up the log/stump with an axe, then dump a full bag of salt into/onto it and water it in slowly with some aniseed mixed into the water.
4; repeat step 3 as often as you can, do not worry about the water/salt over running into the soil as the deer will eat this as well over time.
If you have put the deer lick in a good location you will have to replace the soil after a couple of seasons depending on the deer population you have in the area.
Total cost less than £30 and a few hours work.
Others may have better/different ways of doing it so not saying this is the best way. but its cheap and works for me every time.
I have used this method for red, fallow and roe but not with munjac and cwd.
Sinbad
PS if you buy a salt lick you will need to put it on a stump/log or purpose made untreated wooden frame, as the deer prefer to lick/chew the wood or soil not the lick itself.
Pendle. I think the guy is trying to get the deer into a shootable location rather than attracting deer onto his patch.
hope that helps.
