The Original Rooster
Mayor of Spring Hill
It's been about a month since I put the blocks out.
While the deer continue to work on the mineral/feed block, the others haven’t been eaten up as much. The red cattle mineral block I put on the power line has nearly melted away in all the rain we’ve had the past month. We’ll see if the deer eat the dirt it’s melting into.

The natural block hasn’t changed much. I don’t think they’ve found it yet. The cattle mineral block on the power line surprised me. While all the other blocks are in the woods under varying amounts of tree cover, I didn't expect it to melt so fast just because it was exposed in the middle of the cut through. Take that as a lesson if you want to put one on a power line. A best practice might be to set it a few steps into the tree line to prevent it melting away.
