Age this Lick...
« on: August 31, 2015, 09:47:17 AM »
For all you guys that run licks can you put a guestimate on the age of this one? I've never used a lick so have no idea as to lifespan of this type...

Depending on amount of usage, it could be a week old or a two years old.  I have had blocks like that go an as little as a few days.  :twocents:

I'd say  a month old but usage is the big factor.

I was kinda thinking a month based on the activity in this spot, I was up there 2 months ago but didn't go right in on this spot to look and don't remember noticing it there. :bash:

Old licks will have a large hole dug in the ground from the animals eating the dirt.
If the ground is level in area, it is a relatively new lick.
I would guess a month also.

Normally I would say not very old because it's still there but we haven't had any substantial rain this year really so who knows!
