They make a feed block, that doesn't have as much salt, and has a sweetness to it. Deer need more salt to retain water in spring and summer, but need carbs to stay warm. Check with a feed store, there's a chunk treat called "horse candy" that deer like. Most game birds cannot legally be baited during the hunting season. Krusty |

It seems that just a few years ago, no lures of any kind were alowed for deer, though I see in this year's pamphlet it's allowed. Anyone remember what year this changed? |

Here comes the environmentalist in me....very small...but there..... please be mindful of where you guys put these salt blocks. If you have ever seen in the woods where there was salt once, you will know what I mean. It looks like a bulldozer went to work and it can be very destructive. Bear in mind salt leaches into the soil, and what trace there is, the animals when salt hungry can smell it and they devour the ground. try to put it where there are rocks. |
