RE: Best way to set up mineral sites.
All I will say is the minerals are a great way to make the deer stop and say "cheese" for my trail cameras. Its much cheaper than dumping bags and bags of corn out for months at numerous locations. I still put a little corn out here and there but it gets expensive and Ive learned this is a much cheaper route. For $25 you can make 200 lbs of minerals and make several stations.
Di-calcium phosphate, this is a dairy feed additive bought at feed
stores. Comes in 50lb Bags at around $10 to $12 per bag. Get one one bag
Trace mineral salt,without the medications.
Get 2 50lb Bags at around $5.00
Stock salt.Get one 50lb Bags at around $2.00
Mixing directions: I use a 5 gallon bucket and a gallon milk container cut as a scooper to measure.
1 part di-calcium phosphate
2 parts trace mineral salt
1 part stock salt
