Title: minerals /salt
Post by: stw on June 17, 2014, 07:56:52 AM
Just wanted to ask what kind of salt you use for elk for getting trail camera picture. Iv tried the mineral rock and salt blocks .i gotten a few to use it in the past few years. I cant find the baiting site on here. Iv seen on other post before there was a kind of salt on here that was used it had some other mineral in it people said to use. Sorry for bring it up again but cant find it. Just want to try something new any help would be appreciate thank you.

The last one I bought was a green and white bag at Coastal Farm and it said selinemum right on the front with a pic of a goats head. About 10$. The deer here have been hitting it about every day this spring.

So this stuff is predominately salt with selenium added, right? Or is it primarily selenium?

What I use is American Stockmen trace mineral salt with selenium. Without selenium works too.
They are hammering it right now.

I use Champion's choice sheep salt with selenium. I have had areas 30 feet by 30 feet turned to bare dirt and dug out at least 6 inches from the elk tearing it up. I like to bury some of mine and also like to find a rotten stump or log. It will make them work for it and keep them from just chowing it down too quickly. I had one stump that was about 2 feet tall that I put salt in and within about 6 weeks it was gone and there was actually a hole in the ground.  :yike:

I'd guess it's pointless to add more to it at this time. Maybe not, but tops all you'd need is 2 bags a year. I've only used 1 per year and they were still hitting the 1st lick from last June when I refeshed it this past April.

Selenium, or trace mineral.
Selenium is a key mineral to ungulate reproduction.  Deer/elk crave it.  Your efforts are helping the deer/elk populations.  Especially if you're a poor shot. :chuckle:
