A few Blacktail bucks (adding pics as they grow 7/11)
« on: May 19, 2013, 07:25:38 AM »
I've got a few Blacktail bucks coming into my lick, nothing huge but it's always fun to watch them develop.

I've got the area dug up with a mineral lick blend and I have a block of salt there also.  The elk seem to like the block and the deer are licking a mixture of stock salt with trace minerals and brown sugar.  I mix equal parts salt, sugar and water (I boil it to melt it all together) and dump it in the dirt or on a rotten stump and they will dig for every last drop of it.

That buck in the middle pic looks like he may be a brute!
If you dont do it this year, you'll be one year older when you do!

I have tried to sweeten my licks up, but all it does is attract bears.  I can't use anything sweet in my deer stand  :bash: :bash:.    Be careful if you have a density of bear in your deer area before adding sweet stuff??  Deer seem to disappear when the bears move in.

Looks like It'll be a while before I post up any more pics...Some Jack ### swiped my camera.  I've got it on private property, well posted and not real easy to stumble into.  Ticks me off, last year I had a tree stand ripped off during elk season and now this.  My neighborhood has some real fine characters.

I've got other camera's but I hate to put anything out now, even with a bear box I don't feel comfortable.

The only reason I play around home is for those evenings after work, I'm glad most of my hunting is done in the backcountry where slime buckets like this are too lazy to go.
