Trophy Rock

[toxo]

At the end of the season some critter always steals  whats left of my Trophy Rock. Do Racoons eat it?

[Lunatic]

What do you mean by steal? Is eating it considered stealing?

[toxo]

They take the whole piece.

Do you have bear in the area?

Once mine gets small enough, it's often "rolled" out of the immediate area, I assume by squirrels or deer pushing it around.

I use 8-10 Trophy rocks a season. Have cams on each site, never saw anything swipe the rocks as they get smaller. I have tons of coons at most of my sites, I can’t say that I’ve ever noticed one at the rock, but I do typically have corn out as well, so they may not bother with the rock. 
I have noticed that they disintegrate (the Rocks, not the coons!😂) pretty quickly once they get small.

I've had possums and raccoons chew on the remains of my trophy rocks.

I’ve had bears pick it up and carry them away

I find any mineral based product is wasted money from october through end of January. If the weather permits, start supplementing minerals Feb through Aug...

Try the Trophy Rock four65. Its crushed so animals or humans wont be able carry it away. 

Once it dissolves in the ground, deer will continue to hit it for several years after its gone.

had a lot of deer on that last year - started it in march and stopped in august because I do think it's a waste of time once antlers stop growing.

Never seen any animals take a trophy rock so if you are not in a bear area it could be another hunter. Hide another cam up high to see.

I put trophy rocks out the beginning of march.  I put cameras over each one.  They get hit hard until September.  Hardest in the spring.  I have to replace them every 2 months.  I was out last week.  Still a small piece of rock left at one spot.  I put that one out in late August.  I've never had any walk away.  I have a fox that likes to piss on them though.  Coons hit them occasionally.  I also put Four65 on a stump.  I've seen squirrels chewing on that.

The four65, deer will dig craters. When it rains and the hole fills up with water the deer come in and drink the water. Its hit year round
