I think you had an article on mineral deer licks that you blend into the soil. Could you tell what the minerals was and where to get them. thank you

Check out the message boards we've been discussing this for a while. Any livestock mineral will work and you can get them at any farm store i.e. Tractor Supply or Orschelns or at your local feed mill. You'll save a lot of money over buying the stuff for deer.

I agree, look towards the feed stores and you will save a great deal of cash and bee just as effective!

Remember the salt block has to be on the dirt. I have a lick on my farm almost 2 feet deep now just by using cheap salt blocks.

I buy the 50 lb mineral block at my local feed and seed. Dig a shallow depression and drop it in the middle. Put it in a place with good cover and hang a trail cam about 10 ft away aimed 2 feet above the lick. That will get you pics of most of your local deer. They will pretty much stop hitting it in Sep. I used this method to get trailcam pics of the 10 pt buck in my photo.

I have heard that making your own can save you cash but I worry about using the right mix. Trial and error may not be the cheapest unless there are few errors.
