| You can put salt
blocks on your property, but you won’t be doing
your deer any favors.
Salt lacks nutritional value and forces
deer to drink too much water, which takes up
valuable stomach capacity. Mineral licks tend to
be jazzed-up salt blocks, and deer don’t care
for them during certain parts of the year anyway.
If you really want to enhance your deer’s
natural diet, and supplement the nutrients bucks
utilize to reach their genetic potential and grow
heavy racks, you need complete, balanced
nutritional supplements. You need Cutting
Edge! |

Late
Winter/ Early Spring
Start Initiate in late Winter and provide it until the emergence of
green vegetation….
A buck starts growing his antlers before nutrient-rich green
vegetation emerges in the spring. Initiate contains a combination of
protein, energy, minerals and vitamins (along with other
ingredients) that deer can utilize for body condition and early
antler development.
Spring/Summer
Switch to Optimize in mid to late Spring… Forages in most parts of
North America lack essential nutrients required for optimal antler
development. Optimize supplements the deer’s natural diet with
minerals, vitamins and 16% protein… all nutrients that contribute
to antler growth. Continue
providing Optimize throughout the summer months…
Fall/Winter
Switch to Sustain in the Fall… In
the fall, switching to Sustain helps get bucks through the rigors of
the rut and benefits all deer in the cold winter months. Sustain is
formulated to help reduce lost body weight and help overall health
during rut and cold winter months.
If body weight is well maintained when spring arrives, bucks
can use their nutrients growing antlers instead of rebuilding their
bodies.
