Salt licks are something you have to put out for a good few years before you see any results and they have to be properly located to be of any good use.
Need them close to a trail and someplace close to a water source as well.

Also ,the standard cattle mineral lick doesn't cut it here.[At least in my part of the world it doesn't.] It needs to have either molasses,apple concentrate or aniseed concentrate for it to work effectively.The smell will bring in the deer alot quicker than just a mineral block.

The Wildlife Act protects wild deer, these are domesticated deer and not covered. But probably no harm checking with the NPWS to be sure.

They're not wild deer if they've been born and reared in captivity and have never been released in the wild. They're farm animals and when the owner thinks the time for slaughter has come then that's it.

It would be like fattening up a few pheasants hatched in captivity in a chicken run and killing them for the pot when fattened up.
