Trophy Rock?
 
What's the word on the "street" about the Trophy Rock mineral lick?

it works as an attractant, whether it helps with antler developement or not is still up for debate.

I've had much better Luck with Granulated minerals/attractants.

Same here!, i buy the granulated trace minerals at the local feed store for about$10 a bagand put it out every six months and have had good luck with it. The deer use it year round but tend to visit it more so in the spring and summer months.

Go buy a salt lick they work just as well! As for helping with development.........I dont see it because the salt content in the rock is like over 90 percent. Yes, I have used them and they are over priced and a two dollar chunk of salt works as well if not better.

Thank you mahoningbuck. If you want antler growth, you need protein and other minerals, not salt or molasses.

I am still wondering what the protein content of the "magic mix" that everyone seems to use. I am not disputing that it is an aid to the herd's health in various ways, but just wondered how much protein was in it?

I'm in Georgia also...how long does the "rock" last?

You can get mineral (Deer Blocks) blocks high in calcium at Tractor supply that last longer for about half the price of a trophy rock. I put a trophy rock out and it didn't last long at all. I won't be buying anymore trophy rocks.

I use a similar recipe to this and it has served me well. Once established it will draw deer for over a year without refreshing it, but I usually do.

Many products you are paying for the package, marketing, and advertising. Save some money and visit the Feed Store!;)

They are also about 16% protein. They are a copy of Antler King's big block. They are what I use and like.

I have had much luck with the Trophy Rock. As you can see by this picture the deer are actually eating the ground around the rock. After removing the rock they continued to eat the ground and ended up eating a hole in the ground over a foot deep and three feet across.

One of the mineral licks I established with the granulated stuff is now knee deep and almost 4' across. I never hunt near them basically because of where I put them, and most of the pics I get are night pics (not all) but a mineral sight will really get used by the local deer.

Thanks Dan...I think I'll stick with the granular[/align]
