These weren't natural Krusty. I've seen them too. There is a nice one on the top of Harts pass that is a great one for goats. Has been attracting them for decades. I promise you, these are not natural wallows, moose licks, elk pissholes, grizzly bear tubs, bear wallows or anything to the like. Pretty obvious when you see them, and yes there are often remnants of blocks, or have seen the block there in the past. Take my advice as you will, like I said, really whats a big hole out in the woods. I won't pretend that I am real sad when a road gets torn up(anybody seen this one up Bridge Creek?) or a meadow that is destroyed.....anybody seen this one up Buttermilk Meadows, or a trail destroyed, half way up to no tell um lake.. who cares, take your horse around it. Like I said, my environmentalist side isn't very big, just be aware of your actions. I'll try to rummage up those deer photos at the "Piss log". I guess its me just trying to leave the woods without a whole bunch of man sign around. Some like to put ribbons all over, and leave them behind. Some hammer pie plates to trees, some leave their garbage, some carve initials in trees, some girdle trees with their horses, some let their horses dig man sized pits by pawing. I try to leave it as I find it or better. I thought there might be somebody else who might think that way on here, and not realize what a salt block will do. Definately don't mean to preach. |

Hey bone, I agree with you 100%.We need to leave the woods even better than when we got there. jim |

so........i won't say where, but shank and i came across a salt block left behind while muzz hunting last year. there was a lot of damage to the ground around it. i didn't take any pics, not sure if it was because of the salt in the ground or from all the critters coming to it, and it was probably about half gone, but there was definitely a substantial effect right around that block...ground was worn right down to dirt...no grass, saplings, nothing. good bad or indifferent. |

This thread is interesting to me, but also confusing. Over the years we have tried different mineral/salt blocks and have had very little activity around them, let alone any real disturbance to the area. Could it be that we are so close to the coast that they don't flock to salt? |

There is a little more to it than just putting them down on the westside. I have heard that same thing from a bunch of different guys. |
