I make my own blend. Start now or early feb and freshen in 6mos. I make about 150lbs and sell some. Its better quality IMO, all feed grade. Also $80 makes it all

[mattg1500]

Trace minerals, sodium di cal, mortons salt (i mix fine with rock), sodium bicarbonate and dried molasses

[Psehunter]

I use Lucky Buck and love it

I use trophy rocks. The deer keep pawing the dirt even after they are long gone

Trophy Rock Ingredients

 

calcium (min) .35%

calcium (max) .85%

phosphorus .02%

salt (min) 91.0%

salt (max) 96.0%

magnesium (min) .06%

potassium (min) .03%

sulfur (min) .07%

manganese (min) 5ppm

zinc (min) 3ppm

iron (min) 300ppm

copper (min) 3ppm

iodine (min) 10ppm

Making your own costs less,covers more and has more calcium, which anyone that has seen a milk ad knows, grows stronger more dense bones. Di cal is what grows mass. JMO 4 rocks are $60 i can do 4 sites for 12mo for that

Not knockin rocks, I have used them in a pinch and have had many deer visit them

My cousin did some research and told me to do this:

 

1 part dicalcium phosphate

2 parts general purpose mineral (red)

1 part fine stock salt

I use more than 2 parts di cal. Its what grows mass but deer wont eat just di cal, thats where the salt comes in, and molasses in mine

I use trophy rocks and red salt blocks. The porous soil in the pines soaks up loose salt and minerals to fast imo. If your going to use loose minerals in the pines you will need to freshen it on a more regular basis.
