salt lick
Deer attractant block
A salt lick is a natural deposit or artificial block of salt where animals gather to lick essential minerals.
Deer, cattle, and other mammals seek out salt licks to supplement their diet.
Hunters sometimes place salt licks to attract game: We set up a trail camera near the salt lick.
