saltlick
Deer tongue magnet
A saltlick is a deposit of salt or a block of salt-rich mineral that animals lick to supplement their diet.
Deer, cattle, and other herbivores seek out natural saltlicks or are provided artificial ones by farmers and hunters: We set up a saltlick to attract deer during hunting season.
Also spelled as two words: salt lick.
