Tell us how and what the benefit is please. And why is your mixture better then the blocks.

Here is how much deer like the generic $5.00 blocks. Pike

Wow JPike that buck in the first two photos is a dandy.
Did you manage to see him or harvest him this season?
The mineral block you use has all the same minerals and salts i
use. I am just using it in powder form and making it by the bulk.
Your picture is definenlty proof that it work. If you have any more pics of that nice buck i would like to see them

The mixture i use is not any better than the block nor is it worse for the simple fact that they are made of the same thing except my mixture is in powder form and i make it by the bulk. Any consumption of minerals, vitamins, calcium, or salt benifit the deer.

gyro that is a sore subject. LOL! I had him feeding for over 30 minutes right towards my stand on Nov. 19th, when he got to 33 yards I turned slightly just to stay square with him and when I shifted my feet my stand sqeaked and he was out of there.
By the way, you can also buy 50lb. bags at TSC and your local feed store in stead of the block.
I have gotton hundreds of pics of the buck since early June but none after the first day of gun season, Im worried that my buddy who hit a buck the first day of gun season shot him and we didnt recover him. Pike

gyro mineral supplements do not benefit deer other than providing them with a source of salt. Pike

Im well aware of that. I just wanted to see what your reasoning was behind it. And why you wanted to go though the extra work. Like pike said, its been discussed many times here, and for those of us who use the blocks know how well they can work.

You can take a block in, maybe dig a small hole or find a low spot, and you're done. No repeated visits. Unless its to check a cam.

Some of us also believe that the blocks last longer because its solid, sort of a time release thing. The block wont wash into the ground as fast as the powder does.

Then again, what do i know.....:confused0024:

They eat everything in the area, and chew the bark off the trees. And also i sprinkle this stuff in my feeders. I had to raise my feeds the deer were standing on their hind legs and chewing on my feeders. I have used this stuff for about 10 years and it is the ONLY kind of attractant (other than feed or food plots) that i use. This is real deer cocaine.

Yeah! That's what I'm talkin' 'bout... REAL personal testimony!

I love it. When I get to picture takin', I'll be sure to give it a try.

Thanks! :happy0001:
