When to Apply Tag-OutŪ
Tag-Out
should be applied immediately and kept active in order to pattern deer
to your Tag-Out holes. With time, more and more deer will find the site
and change roaming patterns to accommodate it.
We
encourage using trail cameras in conjunction with Tag-Out to document
herd growth and Tag-Out hole activity. Tag-Out is a year-round mineral
supplement; however deer consume different amounts of Tag-Out during
each season of the year. Here are some trends we have found:
-
Early
Spring - Tag-Out hole activity by does carrying fawns, and bucks
building up mineral reserves needed for new antler growth after their
antlers drop
-
Spring - Tag-Out hole activity by lactating does, and by bucks using up mineral reserves growing new antlers.
-
Summer - Tag-Out hole activity by both does and bucks, to aid in several areas including digestion and antler development.
-
Fall - Tag-Out hole activity continues through the fall as deer begin preparing for cold weather.
-
Winter
- Tag-Out hole activity continues throughout the winter, however,
during the rut doe activity should stay steady, but buck activity may
decrease. Tag-Out holes are often used by rutting bucks as a scrape as
they look for the does that have frequented the hole.
The
minerals in Tag-Out play a significant role in deer body mass and
antler size. Deer antlers contain several different minerals; and two
of these, calcium and phosphorus, make up approximately 30-35% of total
antler weight. The amount of phosphorus in a deer's diet is also
directly related to its body size.
Therefore,
providing a year round supplement of these important minerals will,
over time, help you produce the biggest bucks with trophy racks.
Choosing The Right Location
Picking
the right location for your Tag-Out hole is important to site success.
Deer constantly try to conceal themselves, so shaded areas along the
edges of deer crossings seem to be optimal.
We
recommend staying at least 6-12 feet off normally active deer trails.
The more secluded a Tag-Out hole is, the more comfortable the deer will
be, and they will stay longer in the hole consuming the minerals.
To
determine the number of Tag-Out holes to establish, we recommend one
Tag-Out hole per 100-200 acres. Since the peak use of the Tag-Out is
during spring and early summer, Tag-Out holes should be established
during late winter or early spring when possible, but anytime you can
start a Tag-Out hole is a good time.
Choosing the Right Soil
Tag-Out works in
a most types of soil, but heavier clay soils hold the minerals for a
longer period of time, and increase the evaporative concentration of
the minerals. If you are in a sandy area, we recommend establishing
your Tag-Out hole next to a tree or stump with a decent root bed that
holds the soil together a little better. Tag-Out holes in acidic soil
have proven to generate heavier deer activity than alkaline soil sites.
