That is a huge natural lick Dan. Would love to see you set up a cam on it.

This is a natural lick that I found close to home last week:


Here is one I found two years back, in 2005:


Here is that same lick this year, after I added mineral blocksto it.


Great pic Dan, and beautiful wife. I've found that moisture seems to make a tremendous difference in the quality of these natural licks. This year there has been virtually no moisture. It's frustrating.

Cool picture Dan.....it would be really neat to set up a trail camera there just to see what different types of animals have traveled there to use the mineral lick!

Wow, really shows how important minerals are to the animals.

What often looks like a natural mineral lick in idaho...Was initially 200 lbs of rock salt 10 yearsprior.. LOL I found a wicked one.. a few days ago scouting a new mountain, its been around for years and is a huge crator like you guys are showing..elk, deer and moose tracks all over it..Here it could be cattle based orignally since this area is a heavily used open cattle range spot, but do to its location I am pretty sure its was man-ip-ulated..for wapati

The owner of our local bowshop found one!
HUMUNGOUS!!!!!!!!!!
It is like a HUGE rock or hill of some mineral and you can see where the deer scrape, lick, and kneel down in it.

Absolutely awesome! defenitely a money saver!

good luck

I thought that at first as well, because of where it is located. But....I have some maps that the logging companies and MNR have out that specifially mark these areas as natural minerals.

I'll get some more pics in a few hours of the other ones.

I second the trail camera idea!
