Deer Cain by Evolved Habitat

Deer co-Cain
Deer co-Cain 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 & 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 co-Cain site by rubbing, scraping, & rolling in the mineral site to mark it as their own. The bucks 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.

2) Clear all vegetation in center of site (approx. 4-foot circle)
3) Shake Liquid Well
4) Slowly pour entire gallon of liquid onto the cleared bare-spot allowing the solution to soak the site.
Once deer have begun actively consuming the minerals you can reapply with Deer co-Cain Liquid in 30 days. Normally, you will not need to reapply for at least 60 days. If over application is made to the site deer will stop using the site for a short period until some of the minerals leach out of the soil. Once you have established your site with Deer co-Cain Liquid, use our Deer co-Cain Time-Release Block to keep your site active for a whole season. Also try our original Deer co-Cain Mix to activate or reactivate mineral sites throughout the year.

Deer co-Cain BLOCK

Time Release BLOCK!...your simple solution to keep a site active for a full season. Place one or two blocks in an established Deer co-Cain or other mineral site... to provide months of attraction without having to return to the site. When using the Deer co-Cain Block to establish a new site, place one or two blocks in the middle of a bare spot... 4 feet in diameter. Please note: Rainfall will be needed to activate the site, allowing the minerals to fully leach into the ground. Once this happens, deer will begin to consume the soil and the beneficial minerals. For instant results use in combination with Deer co-Cain Mix or Deer co-Cain Liquid.

Site Selection Tips

Picking the right location to establish your Deer co-Cain 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 co-Cain 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 co-Cain Mix 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 co-Cain 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.

When to Use...

The key is to put out Deer co-Cain immediately and keep it active to begin patterning deer to your supplement sites. Start now and within weeks youll discover Deer co-Cain drives deer crazy to consume minerals from your sites. Deer co-Cain 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 co-Cain 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.
