Mineral site

[SRShunter]

I always use the 5 dollar blocks from tsc. The red ones with the trace minerals in them. I've had decent deer usage out of them. I actually broke down and bought some trophy rocks this year. Deer are just now as we speak starting to utilize them. I bought two and I run spypoints...I know it's hard to believe but one of my spypoints isn't working. Huge shocker there huh. Lol. Anyhow I know from now til August they will really get the best use. Who remembers the homemade mix a lot of people use for mineral sites. I know the dicalcium is under some cattle feed name, but really like to know exactly which bag it is. TIA

Those have high salt. Not as much mineral. For a better mineral try this.

My deer seem to like the Mossy Oak corn / mineral block from Walmart best.

I found one of those brown blocks at Pinelog, even had a big ole camera on it-don’t know what cam it was but it was the size of a football. Anywho, that brown block was there a long time like it had hardly been touched. My cousin in KY uses some brown stuff from some feed store…I think it had 4 or 5 different minerals in it with salt around 66%? I put one of them red cane blocks in my backyard and got little action on it.

I usually buy bags of the red trace minerals from the feed store. Deer dig a hole you can fall in to!
They like the Trophy Rocks a lot but they are expensive.
I have had good luck with the better corn,mineral, molasses blocks but I swear I think the cheap ones are sawdust or something. I have watched them sit till they rot!

Free minerals. My dog pees on them also

Maybe it's just my location, but I've never been able to find the minerals or phosphate down here.

I get mine from southern states.
50# Dicalcium Phosphate
50# Trace Mineral Salt
50# Dried Molasses

Dical is not easy to locate at a lot of places.
