RE: Those who use minerals......
ORIGINAL: dtk913 Sorry guys, I should have done that to start with. It is : 1 part rock Salt 1 part di-calcium phosphate 2 parts trace mineral These can all be purchased at your local co-op. I use a coffee can to put the mix together. I usually put about 4-5 lbs out at a time and then refresh them every couple of weeks. I was told not to mix the ingredients together until you are ready to use them, I don't know why but I don't do it. All of the ingredients come in 25lbs bags. Now is a good time to get it out there. They will really tear it up during the summer. Good Luck. If you guys use trail cams, these licks are a great place to get a lot of pictures. Dan This is the kind of info I was hoping to draw into the forum. |

It is just another attractant that helps to keep them coming back.

RE: Those who use minerals......
So is a Co-oplike a local feed store? Or can I get that stuff at the local feed store? I have never tried a mineral site before but you have gotten me interested reading this. Do you just pour it out on the ground in a pile, dig a hole, or spread it around?

RE: Those who use minerals......
Yes, a Co-Op is like your local feed store. When you start the site you want to take a stick or a rake and clean out a circle about 2 feet wide. After I do that I just pour it out on the ground. Some people will dig a hole and then pour it in. I have never done that, but I am sure there is nothing wrong with doing it that way.
