Got me some new friends. A nice doe and her two fawns. Between the three of them they ate 42lbs of apples and destroyed a pressed block. Date and time are incorrect.

Nice pics. thanks.  That pile of apples looks good i might come over and have a bite, wheres it at? lol.

which model is it?

[h20hunter]

I'll have to check and see what model it it. I'm heading back to check this weekend. It has been soaking for three weeks. I've got a plan to hual in two 50's of wet cob using my back and my kids wagon. That along with a fresh batch of apples should keep 'em coming for a bit longer this tim.

I've heard they really like the 50# bags of ice melting salt you can buy from any feed store. It will certainly last longer and keep em coming back, everything likes salt! I put out pressed blocks last winter and they messed with them a little but smashed the salt crystals

Here is some new stuff. A pic/vid slideshow montage I made up.

You might try northwest beef mineral from Wolfkill in Stanwood instead of blocks or straight salt.  Gives the critters the minor things they need along with the salt.  Caution: If you put this stuff on the ground large deep holes result.  On a stump or in a rubber pan under a large tree keeps the excavation down.

I did something like when I was there changing the card out. I put two 4lb salt blocks, one acorn rage mineral mix and one general mineral trace. I figure with the rain they will break down into the stump they are sitting on. Thanks for the lead on the brand.

Try using a bag of mineral salt with Selenium in it and pour it on the ground. Im setting up my 2 cameras this weekend. I bought 2 of everything (2 cameras, 2 sites), but im starting with (per site) One 50# bag of mineral salt with Selenium ($9), One 50# block of mineral salt with Selenium ($8.55) I want to see which method they like better, and One 50# bag of Wet Cob (Corn Oat Barley with Molasses mix) ($11.50). This time of year they love and need those minerals.

At my site they are eating the cob and cracked corn along with the apples. I am finally ahead of their ability to eat them faster than I can put them out.

For now! Just wait until they tell their friends
