RE: Trophy Rock
You'll get MANY more animals to utilize a loose mineral than any block or rock type product. Try this one and you'll be impressed. Also, consider you can make 200# of this product for the cost of only 2 Trophy Rocks???

RE: Trophy Rock
Guys (THANK YOU MOBOWHUNTER):
listen to what Mobow says. It's even less than 1/2 the price. I took this recipe to Tractor Supply......and walked out with 200lbs of minerals for <$27.00!
I've used this to make 6 sites.......with more left over. What a bargain.....and what an attractant. I didn't even put trail cams at my feeder. I put them on the mineral lick.....on advice and a hunch. WOW. I've had as many as seven on it in one photo.
I dug a hole about 3x3x9"......and mixed up the minerals with the soil.
Bingo.
Thanks, again......for the advice, guys. I've had them on the minerals for about 6 weeks, now.
