Salt won’t work. Even out here more inland it doesn’t work. I’ve used salt in e-wa and gotten thousands of pics. Tried it here and almost got zero pics. Apples work but they go through them fast. They like pumpkins but no pumpkins this time of year.

I use trace minerals with selenium since I'm in a hoof rot area. They pound it. The only problem is the quit hitting it around August when the bulls get hard horned. The cows quit using it when their calves ween. So late summer to winter they don't use it much. Winter to August they can't get enough. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk
Controlled studies have shown elk and deer use salt licks mostly while feeding on lush vegetation i.e. spring and early summer. Disease transmission is always a concern when you concentrate animals with artificial feeding or salt and with CWD spreading in the west, I won't be doing it anymore.

I have read this too but it doesn’t make sense to me. Elk are concentrated most of the time. I have seen herds of 100 plus elk together? During rut a herd bull has a bunch of cows with at least a few satellites running around? I rarely see one elk all by itself. I don’t get how a salt lick would lead to them being more concentrated. To each there own

What about the concentrations of deer/elk that flood the areas cattle guys roll out bales for their cows ? Deer always clean up after cows all winter here anyway.Studies are agenda driven, lets not forget that.

Deer Cocaine black magic. You won’t be disappointed
Quote from: gee_unit360 on July 23, 2022, 12:14:41 PMDeer Cocaine black magic. You won’t be disappointedmarketing gimmick to lure in hunters and charge tons of money for sodium. What the elk and deer want in that product is plain and simple its the salt(sodium) go to the feed store and buy a 50lb bag for $9 and achieve the same thing
