Mineral for deer

I picked up some last year for livestock and they didn't touch it. I would like to know what to get and put out.

First sign of new green growth. I usually through a couple of red trace mineral blocks (which are 95-99% salt) around March 1 at my place (SW Mississippi).

quote:

---

We put out red and white cattle salt blocks and dump a bag of deer cane on them

I do the same thing but use Arm & Hammer washing soda (NOT baking soda) which is the main ingredient in deer cocaine but much cheaper.

So I put out a deer cocaine block in December. They still haven’t touched it.

I put out trace mineral blocks and they stomp a mudhole in the ground getting after it. Usually put out in the spring.

I suppose they benefit from all the ingredients you listed, but the number 1 thing lacking in an herbivores diet is sodium. So I’m pretty sure the more salt the better.

I used to have a hook up for free “blemished” red mineral blocks, but that dried up. Now we just buy bags of pool salt and pour in the mud holes they made from years of licking the blocks. They drink the salty water and eat the dirt.

They usually hit it hard all summer until about the end of October.

wait till March, get a bag of white salt and bag of red salt from Tractor supply. Couple tubs of DiCal Phosphate. Mix well and pour deer cane juice all over it so the deer will find it sooner than later.

Same. Hogs will come get them too. Throw some molasses all over them.

I have not but if someone has and deer hit it then I’d put one out.

Now you got me wanting to try it.

Put it out now.

Do mine from March - August.
6 cups of trace minerals
6 cups of Mix-N-Fine Salt
3 cups of Di-Cal Phosphate
30-06 block from Imperial Whitetail on top of all them Preferably on stumps. Deer destroy it.
