Iwent tothe local feed store yesterday to priceout theDicalcium phospate, trace minerals and stock salt for a homemade mineral lick and found out that the ingredients would cost nearly $45 (which is more than I really want to spend on it right now).While I was there Ilooked ata bag of the new Biologic Whitetail Addiction Mineral Supplements. Its pretty cheap at $7.99 for a 6 lb. bag
Go with the 150 to 200 lbs of home made mix for about $0.25/lb. If it cost too much, have 1 to 4 friends split the cost and mineral with you. To your homemade mix you can also add powdered lime (one with a higher Mg content), and also maybe some red jello for sweet flavoring.
At $1.33/lb you are paying for someone's hunting trips at biologic.
