I aggree with Justthrowit. This is was I use and the deer tear it up. But you have to remember mineral licks of any kind are only going to be used on the regular bases during certain times of the year. Usually right after the Rut, During the late Spring and early summer when does are carrying young'ins and when the bucks are growing new racks. These are the times that I have noticed that the deer are digging up everything I put out.
