Ya there's a green one too,sellium or whatever it's called.
I've also seen that one out in the woods as well.
I'm just going with trace mineral,and not all those color blocks.
I can say without a doubt,I had just regular red  trace mineral salt in the same areas as I seen the color blocks.
Looked like deer and Elk was still hitting mine pretty hard.
I don't think it makes a huge difference.

Anyone here ever plant clover or anything like they do out east for whitetail? If so what do you use? I’m on the west side so the target would be blacktails

Yellow sweet clover would be good. It is pretty hardy. It gets tall and if planted over a big enough area provides cover for the deer also. This blend is perfect for blacktails and is pretty cheap. Even grown in the Willamette Valley!

If you plant the warm season stuff, corn and others, pick the shortest season, days to maturity, you can find and do not expect a bunch of yield.  Just not enough heat and moisture in the summer here
