There's a thread on here somewhere regarding mixing up your own supplements(minerals). ayou should be able to find it in any farm supply outfit. Check your regs, it's illegal in IL and WI.

In IL and WI you can't supplement or feed the deer year round. In N WI you can use bait with certain restrictions.

there are no laws that im aware of about minerals when im trying to use them. i read the dnr rules like atleast once a week too. so i always correct people on the laws. i just want to find a good deal on some minerals i can pour out for the deer

like I mentioned before there is a recipe, farmers use the same thing for cattle, a farm supply store like Farm and fleet should have all the ingredients. It maskes like a 50lb batch I think.
Hey, if you grow ther racks big enough maybe they won't be able to lift their heads to look up!

haha i def. dont want that. but hey, the "goliath buck" can lift his head even when he was young and he was probably not as tough as a wild animal plus he is always drugged out, when he is even conscious

It's a store. I think the correct name is Blains Farm and Fleet, might just be a midwest thing, but any feed supplier should carry the stuff

shipping would be outrageous because the ingredients come in 50 lb bags. final batch is however big you want but youll have enough to make 200 lbs i believe.

PM mobow for the ingredients, he is the one who posted them up a while back, i think. then go to your local feed mill for the bags of minerals.
