So I am wondering when everyone puts out their salt licks, I am planning on using a horse salt/selenium brick along with buck jam.

I wouldn't use a salt brick. To noticeable for other people to see. Use rock salt or something that's no big and bulky. Just my

I've always heard February or march. They crave it for there antler growth.

I put out some salt in eastern WA memorial day last year and the elk were using it in a day or two. So I'm thinking this year about starting as soon as I can get to my spot. The earlier the better.

Put it out whenever you want. It can't hurt and the stuff is relatively cheap. I usually put it out with cams in april, but there's really no reason I do it then.

So I bought the salt blocks and ordered the Buck Jam. The buck jam is supposed to come in about a week, and I think I'll be able to get to my other spot on February 18th, would it be fine then or should I wait a little longer?

I get the salt licks that look like rocks and the critters go for them.

Trophy rock you mean? Yeah I used one of those last year, I had some decent success but I wanted to go a little cheaper this year.
If the deer around my spots like the buck jam then I want to use it again next year along with some other rock salt.
