This video shows how much more cost effective it is to take a 50lb Mineral salt block and break it down into smaller 4ish lb mineral salt blocks. Also like I mentioned on our Facebook page I burnt out my charger so a big thank you to my Father in law for letting me borrow his corded drill.
I Had the kids help me add molasses to them. This really helps with the attracting deer in the first place (work better than apple blocks). • Top your mineral block...
Great project to get kids helping with your hunting. Mine still ask when we will be painting more blocks.

I just did this last night. Thought about drilling or sawing, but used a masonry (4") chisel and 10# sledge. Took about a minute to split the block in half -clean break - maybe just got lucky, but much quicker.
Good to know and the cost of a chisel isn't that bad. Useful comments like your help me try knew things and discover better ways to do stuff.
I use a sledge hammer with the wedge and break it upon the concrete floor. Not pretty but i use every piece, and sweep the crumbs and dust to use it all. I agree it saves alot of $$$$
First thing I thought of is, why isn't this guy using a saw???? Screw drilling and chiseling with screw drivers. Just saw the puppies! Great idea for saving money though!
The link below is why i use a drill. Enough people asking made me put a speech bubble in with a link. ruclips.net/video/v2xWHs-bRgc/видео.html
Only an ignorant person would hit a screwdriver with a hammer.
this is exactly how the Egyptians split their salt blocks..
my brother-in-law just uses a circular saw
They do make splitting wedges use them instead of screw drivers.....
maybe a chisel
The link below is my i use a drill but wedges would work well if I made bigger holes. ruclips.net/video/v2xWHs-bRgc/видео.html
It would seem that a sawzaw would make short work of that or a ban saw... But I do like the idea of smaller licks in more areas...
+Jurist The only reason I don't is because the salt rusts tools and if I ruin a power tool I'd rather it be a cheap drill than a bandsaw or tablesaw.
BuckPole So a sawzaw blade is to expensive?
You can cut anything with a sawzaw and it doesn't hurt them..
The link below is my i use a drill.

@@_jurist I agree. I'm only 30 seconds into this video, and I already feel dumber for having watched it.
You can buy trace minerals in free flow from. Or you can cut off your sleeves and smack the blocks
I've broken a couple of screw drive handles hammering on them like that.
You mean to say a screw driver isn't a chisel? Huh, who would have thunk it?
Holy Hell man. Just use a circular saw or angle grinder with a masonry blade.
The correct term is Saws All.
The correct term is. Reciprocating saw. Saws all is a brand
One word......bandsaw. have a good day.
Cheeper. Works great. Ice cream salt.
How bout using a steel cut off saw? 14" blade, no rust, 4 cuts & your done. Or a saws all with long blade? Gotta be faster.
Ah, but then there wouldn't be a need to make a video that wastes everyone's time.
clear out spot 3+3 sq ft 2lbmineral mix + 2lb rock salt, pour on ground. wet . repeat Every month..
those blocks are held together with feed grade clay...use a masonry bit and cold chisels. imho
Really??? Please do explain since you seem to be a expert!!!
It really take a genius to figure that out
Jessie Turner 😂
Sawzall will do the same, much faster, without splitting the pieces.
Good idea!! Especially if you have to carry them in. And all you saying "Use a saw"... Go ahead! Do it. This is a good idea!
Thanks. I've seen what it does to a drill. I can't imagine a saw.
@@BuckPole Need to use the right kind of blade, dumb ass.
This Tip is a great way to save money and #attractdeer while #hunting . Do not use a good drill for it!!!! The holes work awesome for #baiting #deer as they hold the #molasses really well.
first a circular saw would save a lot of time. for me I could use my 12" miter saw and cut it up in minutes
The salt eats tools up bad.
Great vid man Smile More God Bless Stay Safe everyone 👍
Go to Harbor Freight and get ya some cheap chisels man. They are stronger and will save your screw drivers. Or use a table saw and cut them fookers up how ever you want. Just a couple tips. :)
The chisel idea works but there is two things I have found doing it this way.
1. The block break more even.
2. When you pour the molasses on it they soak into the holes and the deer will stay to lick it out.
Chisels work really good with this if you are using a bigger bit and making bigger blocks.
Brother if you’re worried about ruining saws or drills just use a hand saw, it’s even cheaper than buying a new drill and I’d guess it would take about the same time instead of drilling 50 holes through the block 😂
You ever thought about using a REAL chisel??? The right tool for the job makes all the difference!! And as stated in by previous posters..... Try using a sawzall it will make your life even easier!!
Try hand saw next time
Any questions? Please let me know if there is anything you would like to know.
nice video saws all with a limb blade will work much faster and ezer.
I'm still super scared of using a sawzall to cut them because even with a good cleaning I see what they do to drills. I'm to the point where I buy a $5 flee market drill, use bigger bits and mason chisels instead and drill 5-6 blocks so I have enough for a couple years. I just toss the drill because it seems like no amount of pre oiling and post cleaning seems to help.
More trouble than its worth, loose salt in bags is the ticket
I break them up with 2 lb hammer deer don't care. Seems like a lot of work for no real benifit
I do that for some. This is what I like to do when I want it to have holes for the molasses.
Why did u need to split em up?
You don't have to split them if you don't want. You can just drill them and pour molasses over them as a whole block. I just chose to split them so I can get smaller block out of the bigger block.
You never know maybe he meant saving electric bill also
Why not just put out the 50lb block? Even if you want to drill holes for molasses, cant you do it in the bigger block?
I have never baited deer but now that I have my own land I want to start attracting deer to it. Last season sucked, I froze my ass off for 3 days and saw a total of 5 deer, all were running a hundred miles an hour, would like to give them a reason to slow down.
You can do it to bigger blocks and it works. I personally have had my best success with the smaller blocks because it seems that it is harder for them to lick the molasses out of the small blocks with small holes. I know there are people out there that do block similar to the way I do them but they use 1/4's instead of 1/8's and they work well. If you want to hold deer take a second and look up hinge cutting and check out extreme deer habitats stuff.
TAC-Z if you are looking for more deer you should try and improve your habitat. In my opinion good habitat will attract more deer than baiting them will. If deer feel like your land is a safe zone from the other hunters in the woods they will stay there and you will see more deer and bigger deer. But its also not a bad idea to put a mineral block out as well.
william trap Yeah I dont have enough woods to make a bedding area as my land is mostly pasture with a few small patches of woods. Seems like the pond is being used as i see tracks by it and have seen small groups of deer bedding in the woods in the middle of my field. I guess they can bed and then see a long distance?
I am going to start with about a 1 acre food plot and maybe put in a feeder and some blocks. In about 2 more years I will be able to spend a lot more time out there, so will get more hardcore with it then. Thanks for your advice..
TAC-Z Habitat and hunting pressure trump getting deer in front of the camera with salt blocks. This will bring them in and help them in the summer but once the velvet sheds you see a lot more does. Habitat work and planting edible winter bushes will have higher dividends.
BuckPole "edible winter bushes"? I have a lot to learn, that is for sure.
I am planning on planting some turnips and a mostly clover mix of about an acre, maybe a little more, in the most secluded part of my land. What kind of winter food can i plant for the deer? I didnt know there was anything that you could plant for them to eat that would grow in the winter (in missouri).
Why not just saw it’ll save time?
Why not just saw them on the band saw ?
Corrosion and rust.
@@BuckPole Bull shit. You're just too stupid to have figured out that a saw is the right tool, and now your sticking with it.
It looks like a good product, most likely very effective when atracting whitetail deer, but I had to stop watching after the method you used to split the block. And for that reason I'm out.
How about saving money by buying a 50lb mineral block from tractor supply for $6 instead of $50 from a sporting good store.
Can't you just cut it with a clean table saw?
nickyb2u Maybe you don't have one. But I've been seeing those himalayan salt blocks to cook & prep food on which are not cheap so cutting a salt block similar to this would be cheaper to tryout.
nickyb2u You could and the biggest reason I don't is because it seems like no matter how hard I try I can never get it cleaned well enough that stuff doesn't rust. It always wants to rust! that way if I ruin something I'd rather it be a cheap drill than an expensive saw.
Can you tell me why you split?
To make smaller blocks that are easier to handle.
this is stupid, you still pay the price of the salt block.All your doing is cutting them up in smaller ones..
True. Cutting them up yourself saves you money over buying them separately however.
+BuckPole how the smaller block wouldn't last as long,all in all its the same there's no savings or anything beneficial off of this video and I would just Sawzall it to desired size right quick.but at 4 bucks each I would just buy four of them and they would last for awhile and there would be no labor involved.less time working is always bests.now if you made a video on making your own salt blocks that would be worth watching because then we could make them as big as we wanted em.
@@sherrieh7124 to but little blocks from the store costs you $4-5 each.
it doesnt have the same minerals as the deer blocks have does it?
To be 100% sure I would have to check them again when I go to the store. Both were forms of salt mineral blocks so it is likely that they have over 90% salt in them but the rest I'm not 100% sure unless I look them up.
+BuckPole ok I was just wondering cause I just bought the same block I think I might just bury mine with like 5 or 6 inches sticking up
And put buck jam in it
I never tried buck jam. I just know that pouring molasses on a stump works as well as a stump grinder. I've buried them before and it works fine. I just like this method because they really seem to spend time licking the holes.
+BuckPole ok they are cheap so maybe I'll just buy more and try it this way
why the fuck am i watching this
Why don't you yours a band saw
Blade and internals of the saw would get salt in it and rust bad. I actually didn't clean the drill well enough on this one and blow it out on the internals and it seized up my drill.
y wood u want to do this
Do you ever use your salt on your own food?
All the time, it's delicious.
Yip I do use cow lick salt block for myself selenium zinc iodine magnesium copper got to be good for you
Don’t see the point of this
50 lb is pretty hard to carry for some of us.
if ya'll knew how to hunt ya'll would not have to bait and wait
buy a cheap bandsaw save yourself big hassel drilling
Dumb. They are less than $7 each….wasted time.
Its a shame that we have to look up you're nose.
