Had company come up and I thought Ihad deleted it out before closing.

I have one main lick that I've been putting trace mineral salt and Di-Cal in for about 5 years. Its half as big as the back end of a pick-up truck. I've probably put 300 to 400 pounds of stuff in it over the years.

I don't ever hunt over it. It is just a mineral lick available to the deer whenever they want it. Usually the peak usage is in the spring and summer months. It's cheap, trace mineral loose salt is about $5.50 for 50# and the Di-Cal is around $11.00 per 50# bag. I justmix the stuff in with the clay dirt.

Unless you have a large scale feeding program going on I doubt if you can offer your deer enough protein to make a difference. A twenty pound bad of deer feed will only give each deer in a woods a handfull of protein. On the other hand a several acre plot of nutritious plants can provide tons of protein laden food.

I'm impressed Todd, but what is the product?

I've never had any action at my sites past June; blocks, buckjam, deer cocaine, they just ignore the supplements once stuff starts growing. Where I am I can legally bait but haven't bothered, there is so many apple trees, browse, soy, and corn around that there's no point.
