Title: how long did it take for animals to come in on mineral licks?
Post by: poulsbo on August 23, 2008, 08:17:40 AM: how long after you set out your licks did animals start coming in? do the bears hit em much?

If you are setting it up for a trailcam, dig a hole for the block or it will get moved from in front of the camera. I only have one pic of a bear this year at a lick, and it was just passing by, but I occasionally get pics of cougars that are patroling the area.

I had 2 coming in pretty regular and then I had a picture of a hound and never seen the bears again. I'm assuming the timber company control hunt took care of them.
