I'll be interested to see the results of your beer/corn chow. I've got a bag of sweet cob that may yield similiar results. I also used a pressed block that fell apart in the rain but made a nice little mound that they have been snacking on.

Well I got two cameras set Saturday. One is on a 25# block of sweet lick buck and doe. buried it all but the top like the directions said.   The other one is on a gallon of cracked corn soaked in beer for a week. I know which one I would go for. I have the cameras set for 60 second video. I will check them in two weeks...


And not just any beer I might add "Keystone" is the Blacktail's beer of choice  ;)

Oh great I stole four of my wife's Budweiser's to soak the corn with. :bash: Do I really have to do a study on what beer they prefer? :DOH: This could get expensive. :ACRY:

Dry Cob what is that. Is that what you buy for squirrel feeders?  Are you soaking it in anything or just placing it on the ground?

What is working at my place right now is knee high pasture grass and clover.  Got 6 deer pigging out on it right now and had 11 elk the other night.

heres what u do, u get the 50# water softening salt bags from the feed store. you find a desired spot with an old rotted stump. in a 3ft circle around the stump(3 ft wide) dump the salt so that you surround the whole thing. try to do this when the weather is going to get nasty because with the natural rain, it lets the salt soak into the soil. if you have to, i guess pack your own water in. you need to get it to soak into the soil tho. do this 1-3 times and by the end of summer, you should have a 2-3ft deep trench that the deer and elk have  dug around the stump eating the soil to get the salt out. set ur cam up and post the pics

I sure would like to see some pics, I have a new cam out and I have a 50lb mineral block and 50lbs of wet cob out. I am going out next week after 2 weeks soaking and can't wait to see some pics of my own. I'll post as I get them.
