Post by: FreshAir on June 24, 2011, 09:55:28 AM: Hey guys
Wanted to see if i could get some input on what type of food, if any i should be putting out this time of year for elk. I have a salt block that is starting to get hit but didnt know if i shoud be adding something else to help draw them in? Thanks for the help

Thanks for the info and i look forward to seeing your pics when you get back :tup:
