RE: Deer Blocks
You can get apple flavoured 4 lb blocks at TSC for less than $2. Somepeople recommend the larger stock blocks (minerailized or plain)but I have better consumption of the apple flavoured ones. I usually place them in rotting tree stumps. When the block is finished the deer start eating the stump.

RE: Deer Blocks
In our area they're made by Sifto salt Co. If you have a TSC or Co-Op store you should buy them there. They sell them as horse mineral blocks. Hunting stores carry them in acorn and apple flavour but they charge 3 times as much for the same product. You wouldn't want to get them shipped by mail because of the weight.

RE: Deer Blocks
Exactly the same blocks but with the word "deer" on them instead of "equine" and a price sticker 3 times higher. The trace elements on the labels are identical. Find an old stump and create a hole in the center that will hold the block. Then have fun watching it disappear.

RE: Deer Blocks
A deer needs 1.5 oz. of quality vitamin/mineral a day to make a meaningful difference. The will not be able to get the much off a block. Also salt content needs to be in order for the season the block is used. Rarely are blocks/licks that are over 4%-10% used abter the brown out/pre rut begin.
