Pool salt for deer

You just have misunderstood

Back in the day, when people went to war the winners would pour salt over the losers crops so nothing would grow

Salt will kill your food plots

Yeah that’s fine. Nothing will ever grow where that pile is but the deer will tear up the ground for many years

1 part Di-calcium phosphate, you can get it at a feed store for $10-12 per 50lb sack. Get 1

2 parts Trace mineral salt. It’s about $5-10lbs per 50lb sack. Get 2

I mix those together and use them on many mineral sites. The deer absolutely hammer it.

The di-cal and mineral salt mix posted above is the best mix I've used. The di-cal that I've used in the past has molasses in it. Deer wear it out.

Water softening salt on a rotten stump or a pile of old wood that’s starting to rot. Feel like he left this out the story haha.

You can use cattle salt from a feed store in a swimming pool as well.

My father in law dumps the salt from his pool at the edge of the woods behind his house as a salt lick so he can watch them out the window.
