Default Mineral Lick Recipe

2 questions about the mineral lick recipe that is posted in several different spots. (1 part dicalcium phosphate, 2 parts trace mineral salt, 1 part rock salt)

1. I read somewhere that the rock salt may not be neccesary. The deer may take in so much salt and be satisfied that they wouldn't get enough of the other componentsat each visit to the mineral lick.

2.The Fleet Farm that I was pricing the minerals at had 50lb bags of dryed molasses. Would this be a good addition to help deer initially find it or would it wash out too fast?

Thanks in advance!
