A good buddy of mine always initially puts corn at his mineral sites. Deer come for the corn but repeat for the salt and minerals.

I've had the best luck building a mineral site with Black Magic, then add whatever mineral you want. My BinL made one with Black Magic once. It turned out about the size of a truck bed and 12" deep.

Deer are attracted to salt, not minerals, so you have to use salt as a base to attract them, and add minerals to the salt. Years ago i bought some 30-06 from WI, the deer wouldn't use it. I called them about it, they asked if anybody was putting out salt blocks nearby, and i said, hell yea, this is Alabama. He said, they wouldn't use it if salt blocks were nearby.

Also, when putting out minerals, you need to do it where there is some clay. I've put it where the soil was sandy, and they didn't touch it. I think the salt and minerals just leach thru the soil.

I have plenty of that. We dug out a pond last year and the local brick company liked the clay so much that they hauled it for free.

However, they eat 150lbs of corn in 3 days.
According to how many deer are using the spot, 50 lbs of corn a day sounds like a lot. Couple of things can result including founder and acidosis. High grain diet also changes the microflora of the rumen so that an animal doesn't digest roughage as efficiently. Can't say for a deer of course, but in cattle feeding a high grain, low fiber feed reduces the efficiency of digesting roughage. So you may be feeding them a high carb, low protein feed while at the same time reducing the efficiency of digesting the browse they are getting.

Rice bran alone has an inverted calcium to phosphorous ratio which is probably not what you want for growing antlers. There is a disease caused "bran disease". It isn't as common in ruminants as some other animals but it can happen.
