Title: The hit list
Post by: FlintWalker on August 09, 2010, 11:46:02 pm

Just a few mineral lick and bait pile pictures.  Things are looking better than I expected. 
 I like deer #1 the best. But wouldn't hesitate on shooting #2! The rest are safe as far as I'm concerned...except maybe #3 >:D

Mike, there are probably natural mineral licks near by.
I use a 50# brown mineral block used for cattle and they devour it in no time then eat the dirt under it.   We are pretty wet here so that helps it break down and allows the deer to get to it better.

 Tim, I can't help it...I reckon I'm just picky :-\
 Almost everybody around here would shoot any one of those bucks in a heartbeat...except me :-\
 I don't mind not killing one at all. But if I'm gonna shoot one, I want an old one.
 I know, I know... "old bucks don't taste as good as the young ones"  If I want meat I'll shoot a young doe. ;)
 Mike, I been using Trophy Rock for years. The deer seem to love it and it lasts a long time.  A couple of my mineral sites have holes a foot deep and 6' across. Look it up. ;)

 Mike, Deer won't even look at a mineral or salt block down here. Nice looking deer, Shannon. Looks like a prime candidate for that new Vagabond.

I'd fling an arra over any of their backs ;D. First of September (dove season) I'll get over to the lease and set up.
