Great video Dave. I used lucky buck for 2 years then I decided to do some research. Now I get 50# dried molasses 50# dicalcium phosphate 50# trace mineral salt. For around $65 and it makes plenty for 3 different mineral site. Plus I like a little diy project
The dicalcium phosphate is great for bone and rack growth and also helps lactating doe's produce more milk. Trace minerals are better than just salt also because it's got zinc and iron and copper and a bunch of other ingredients that deer need.
@@dalewalker2379 yeah I watched several RUclips videos and those were the 3 most popular ingredients. Been using going on 3 years deer love it
Some great information guys 👍
@@dalewalker2379 Try digging a hole add trace minerals and dicalcium phosphate mix dirt and water. Then cover with dirt with water and deer will find it very soon. Made mine close enough to the house in the woods so could sit in jacuzzi and watch them
Do you guys mix in any diatomaceous earth? It's full of trace minerals. I use it in all my feed for my hogs, goats and chickens. Never had a worm problem with any of them, including the goats. I also use basic H in my water for them all as well which is supposed to cut down on worms. Can't do that for the deer but the Diatomaceous earth could help. I imagine any lower parasite count would make a healthier herd.
For years, I have been drilling holes in logs, and running rebar through them into the grown....then filler holes for to put different ingredients of minerals. Keeps them coming back. Good stuff.
Dave, when I hunted we went to a co-op and bought mineral blocks, placed them on a stump and let Mother Nature take its course. In a few years there would be no stump and the deer would eat, lick and dig a big hole where the stump had been. We did the same with salt blocks. I have no idea what name brand the blocks were but they worked. We were doing this in the seventies and early eighties on land that we had long term hunting leases on. I begin hunting there in 1973 when I was 20 years old. Thanks, you’ve triggered a few good memories.
Thanks for sharing your memories! I enjoy hearing from others. I also appreciate you watching my videos 👍
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial so I told you how old I am and you? 45?
@@donbearden1953 yup, will be before the year is over. You’re a good guesser. You could get a job at the local carnival guessing ages and weights. 😁👍
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you for all you do for people like me I appreciate it. 🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and for the encouragement 👍
When I had a dairy farm I as well as many local farmers bought the mineral rocks from the local elevator. I put in the pastures they lasted all summer because they didn't weather away like the processed blocks . They weighed each rock and bought by the pound . One day I went to buy some rocks for the cattle and was told they may not be able to get it anymore and if they could the price would be 3x more because gander mountain bought the only mine for the rock mineral in the world in Utah. And they where supplying there store and market first. That was 15-30 years ago.
I appreciate you watching and sharing your experience 👍
I caught onto this years ago. I go to my local co-op or Tractor Supply store and get "trace minerals" in the 50# bag for $7. I think it's called Top Choice, but any brand will do. I prefer trace minerals over just plain salt because it's got other minerals that deer need and sometimes is hard for them to get....like zinc, copper, iron, ect. I pour it on and around an old stump. After it rains on it a couple of times, they tear it up. I've had deer dig a perfectly fine stump out of the ground in a year. I just keep refreshening up the hole. Sometimes, the hole gets so deep that the deer have to step down in it with their front legs.
Sounds like a great recipe Dale! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 👍
Co-op? What is meant by co-op?
@@myronhornby1859 that's short for Farmers Cooperative. A farmers feed store
@@myronhornby1859 it's a agriculture store
Great video, thanks. And first farmer I've heard with a surfer's accent.
Did ya here about the farmer who won the lottery. They asked him what he was going to do with all his money. He replied I'm just gonna keep farming till it's gone 😂😂😂 No but seriously good information. I've used the granular stuff for years but I never drilled holes like that in my stumps. I'll be trying that this year
How do you end up with a million dollars while farming??
Start with 2 million 😂
Thanks for watching John 👍
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial Hahaha
Awesome comparison bud !!! I’ve been using the ag blocks for years . Funny thing is I had never done or seen a comparison I just figured it was cheaper and if it was good enough for livestock it couldn’t hurt the deer . Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching Wyatt 👍
Past few years I've been mixing my own dried molasses, trace mineral salt and 365 mineral.
Trophy rock seems to be preferred.
It's easy to stick in a backpack too.
Wow! Thanks so much for posting this. We've been buying Trophy Rock for years, but after watching this video found 50# bag of Redmond 10 Fine locally for $10.95 and will be making the switch. You da man! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I appreciate you watching! You’ll like Redmond Fine 👍
I like the drilling the stump idea! I just might have to try it out this year.
Thanks for sharing👍
Thanks for watching 👍
Thank you, I liked everything very much and of course I will be glad to meet new people .
Thanks for watching 👍
Have had fantastic results for years with the block and dried molasses, lick site sometimes looks like a 🦌 family reunion! Tks!
A friend takes bagged salt and mixes with dried molasses to start a lick. It works great! Great info man!
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 👍
Great idea thank you
I had my hand on one of those trophy rocks but put it back. Glad i did thanks for the tip!
Very informative video. A lot of people are brought in by the pictures of a big buck on a product. Back before all the feeding bans in Wisconsin due to CWD, I used to always mix my own mineral from items found at a local Fleet Farm. I have seen mention of some of the ingredients that used in other comments. I will add that one of the most important ingredients but also one of the most expensive that I used was Vitamin A D E. It improves the health of the deer allowing them to build body mass. This in turn results in enhanced antler growth. It is really important for fawns since it will help their survival rate for over winter.
I appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts and experience 👍
Dave, you just gave away the secret of us wildlife biologists, which I of course knew because of my grandfather who was an avid Outdoorsman, and yes… a FARMER… 😉
Well done sir… 👍🏼
Thank you! I appreciate you watching. No doubt the old timers knew what they were doing 👍
Awesome job buddy!!! Never thought of the bagged version, I’ll be trying this really soon.Thanks again!!!
Thanks for watching Matt. I appreciate it. I’ll be checking out your fletching video soon 👍
AWESOME FEEDBACK MY FRIEND
Like Mark said, “the power of Marketing” . You could put a picture of a big Buck on a bag of manure and call it Trophy Poo and we Hunters would pay double. Good tip Dave. Thanks
So true! Thanks for watching Don. Have a great rest of the evening 👍
spot on brother i do the same thing, i all so make a mineral mix with Dicalcium Phosphate added with other products from local agg store, make about 200 pounds , for about $65 sometimes ill add a favoried , small bag of premade stuff just for a kicker. But try and buy that much at $14 a small bag and what i make is not only a attractant but i looked up what deer need so its good for them. Caution though all ways keep inside 200 yards of water sorse/ better for deer heard. thats nice content
very good video work uncle..and uncle's videos are all very good..greetings from Indonesia..🇮🇩🇮🇩❤️❤️🙏🙏👍👍
Thanks for watching 👍
Very interesting on how you setup salt licks for the deer. Great tips on saving money. 👍
Thanks for watching. It’s appreciated 👍
Used the mineral block for my horses and for my deer site as well
Excellent David
Thank you! I appreciate you watching 👍
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial anytime
I've scored those square blocks with a hacksaw, then bust them. They break better. And yes, deer like to dig the stuff from the ground. Bury the block partially
I appreciate you watching and sharing your tips 👍
feed em what they want and they will stay around. good video
Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it 👍
That was great buddy! Goes to show the power of marketing! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and facts my friend!
I appreciate you watching! Have a great rest of the day 👍
Awesome reveiw. Hunter helping another hunter. That's how it should be. Thank you. I'm planning on creating a good salt lick/site on my property. I'm thinking like you and break up the block salt and put into the ground or stump. Kind of like sd cards. You can buy the ones in the sporting goods areas with a picture of a deer in it for a hefty price. Then you go to the electronics area of Walmart and get it darn near half the price. Thanks again!
Haha! So true about the sd cards 😁 I appreciate you watching 👍
Now I’m going out to the pasture to lick on my mineral blocks hope ya have a great week
That’s fine, but if you start lip curling don’t come crying to me!! 😂🤣😂
Another great video. Been saying this for years about corn. (we can't bait in Michigan but that doesn't stop them from selling it in the stores- a bag of deer corn in Family Farm and Home is $3 more than a bag of corn in the horse feed isle.) Hoping to have access to some private land this year. I think that we can use "minerals" but need to look into it to make sure. If so, definitely gonna pick a bag up of it.
Thanks for watching Jermey. I appreciate it 👍
Stretchin' Gretchen, MI dictator governess, being the absolute moron she is, explained her veto of the Legislatures bill to overturn HER arbitrary baiting rule by saying to the lapdog idiot press.. "we don't want CWD to infect our livestock", of course none of Gretchen's sycophants knew enough to tell her that CWD is a disease which affects CERVIDS, not BOVINE, species.
Minerals/ salt is not currently legal in the lower peninsula of Mi. Only legal in the U.P.
I have heard this said many times - "Same Stuff"
I have done many tests and tried just about everything under the sun.
I have the "cheap block" next to a Trophy rock in several areas - the deer always lick and eat the dirt on the trophy rock and never touch the cheap one.
Just throwing in my experience.
I appreciate you watching and sharing your experience. The fine ground trace mineral is still my go to vs any block/rock 😁👍
@HuntingFarmerOfficial 👍👍. Deer are funny. What works best in one spot might not work a mile down the road. I've had a ton of people swear by rice bran. My deer won't touch rice bran and it just rots. Thanks for making the video!
Great comparison and research! Too funny - I use Record Rack deer blocks and have for years. Now I will have to do some research! Good information Dave!!
Thanks for watching Dave. Have a great evening 👍
They also make a 50lb granular bag that the deer love! Usually costs less than $10 at a local feed store.
Thanks for watching 👍
Tractor Supply baby!! Love that store.. unfortunately we have a liberal governor that doesn't allow any of that stuff ever.. stinks for trail cameras. Great video!!
I appreciate you watching! Have a great evening 👍
WOW... this is great information. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I appreciate you watching John 👍
Awesome video. We here at MTX TrailMix in SC. Makes a 6 grain deer feed and added salt and crush trophy rock as a mineral. After watching your video i think we will change a few things.
Thank you
I appreciate you watching 👍
I have been using mineral salt for most of my life and I am an old man now and still use it. 50 lb bags are pretty much all I buy. I have never farmed but I do deer hunt a bunch. I usually get mine from the local Co-op here where I live or TSC which is a lot closer.
Thanks for watching and sharing your experience. I appreciate it 👍
It puts the opinions of many hunters into perspective when they so readily purchase those great labels and swear by them.
Like they know better than the few effective pest control operators and species managers. Democracy and the opinions of the majority can have limitations.
I appreciate your knowledge that is gonna help quite well.
yep. got a agricultural block out now. they eat it up. Only made sense.
Great idea. My grandpa had a cattle farm.
Thanks for watching. Bet you have so memories from your grandpa’s place 👍
Going to be looking for these. I use trophy rocks all the time. The deer hit them all year long. I even have coyotes and bobcats on trailcam licking them.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it 👍
Great info! I bought a big Salt block and it lasted a couple years, this year mineral block is what I'll use. Thanks for the awesome info
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it 👍
Definitely a great side by side insight
Thanks for watching. I appreciate it 👍
I've been using Ag blocks for 10yrs. Never looked at the bags though, I'll be checking that out tonight.
Thanks for watching and sharing your experience 👍
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge…this will help me once again be able to use minerals.
I appreciate you watching 👍
I buy Redman mineral in a bag for deer. has worked for years.
Thanks for watching and sharing your experience 👍
This is great information and perfect timing as we are thinking of ways to attract more deer, thanks
Thanks for watching Joseph 👍
Great info! I put out a couple of the salt blocks and apparently somebody else had to have it. I'm guessing the bag form would be more likely to stay put. I did notice your cows don't have much in the way of antlers. 😍 Just kidding. ❤❤
Haha! Thanks for watching! It’s always appreciated 👍
I've had that same block out a month an deer barely been messing with it so I put the trophy rock out 3 weeks ago an I've had deer every night
2 50# bags of trace mineral salt 2 50# bags of crushed rock salt 1 #50 bag powdered molasses and 1 #50 bag of dicalcium phosphate. Makes 300# and cost around $70
Thanks for watching and for your recipe! I appreciate it 👍
I agree Dave the deer lick and eat the dirt more so than the block itself.
Thanks for watching Paul 👍
Great video
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it 👍
And now illegal in many States because of CWD. The other issue is giving away your hunting spots. The rock looks natural, the block stands out.
You can also make your own with more calcium and phosphorus by mixing trace mineral, salt, and di-cal.
I appreciate you watching and for your input 👍
I just drove through Redmond today where they mine the salt for those.
That’s interesting! Did you see the field where they pick up the Trophy Rocks from?? 😂
Great info! Well done! Never thought about breaking up the mineral blocks! Gonna definitely grab a few bags of mineral salt bags!!
Thanks for watching! It’s a great way to save some money 👍
Thanks for this! Never knew about the bag, incredible savings just looked it up and they have another brand at my TSC crazy cheap! And I agree with what u said once the block melts they love digging at it in the dirt
Thanks for watching 👍
In Wis most of the state is zero baiting and minerals fall under that law. So the Trophy Rock is how some get past that. It looks like a rock so some think the DNR will not notice a rock vs a salt lick. I figure a good warden will know the difference anyway lol
Haha! Thanks for watching 👍
Very informative video. You earned my subscription
I'm up in canada, BC. The ranchers all release their cattle up onto crown land for the summer, to free range. They all use the blue salt blocks. I bought the brown one for deer.
But i find i can't put anything out, because of those free range cattle. They find the salt wherever it is.
I have one area, that i've tried stuff. I wait though, until november. They usually get all the cattle back down onto the ranches in november. But i've tried everything, salt block, that crushed salt, a bag of oats, numerous things, and the deer walk right past it all, ignoring everything.
Too much salt out for the cattle. The deer aren't interested because they lick the cattle blocks in other places. Find one set out for the cattle, instead of spending your own money feeding the cattle!
That’s interesting. Our deer (and my cattle) use of salt varies on the time of year and their diet. Spring is usually the time the deer hit it the hardest 👍
Great job man ! Your way works..saved a lot of money !
Thanks for watching 👍
Good review. Thx.
Thanks for watching 👍
That is one Awesome video Dave. U r 💯 correct I make my own stuff too.Help the hunter save money Thanks Dave👊
Thanks for watching Pat 👍
They sell one for farm animals at tractor supply for next to nothing. It works
Thanks for watching and for sharing your experience 👍
Our local Tractor Supply (Florida), does not carry Redmond, but they do carry similar products with comparable prices to what you mention here. Thanks! Great advice. As soon as my trail camera is above the water (hurricane Ian), and the ground is dry I am going to put one of these out!
Hope all is well after the storm!
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial Thanks! In east central Florida, we are mostly recovered but still have some road closures. One of my cameras is still under water. If it survives, I will be giving a shout-out to the company.
mineral stumps are better,cut a tree oak,red maple,etc. to a stump and when it grows back it causes the root system to bring 3 times the minerals in the leaves.about a 4-6" tree,try it and see
Thanks for watching and for the tip 👍
Hi, I'm Pres and CEO at Trophy Rock and I'd like to talk to you!
🤣
Good to hear from you (I think) My buddy Jase Outdoors put me up to this 😂🤣😂
Thanks for watching. I appreciate it 👍
Interesting ive got a few feeds&needs / coop feeds near me ill have to look in to that thanks for sharing Dave
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 👍
GREAT VIDEO SIR! GREATLY APPRECIATE THE TIP. THUMBS UP!!!!
I appreciate you watching 👍
I put two blocks vertically in a post hole to make a permanent lick
I buy it in the bag just like you showed but it’s a different brand. I always find a indention near a trail and pour it in there. Good stuff there Dave!
Thanks for watching Ronnie 👍
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial Your welcome Dave! Stay warm buddy.
So down in Florida I’d take that mineral block and set it in a hole I dug in the sand with gumbo clay under it. Dug it as a water hole. In the end I set that block in there and every animal in the forest came to that hole to drink the water.
I appreciate you sharing your tip 👍
You are correct I have a video mineral stump lick that works and the same mineral in it
I appreciate you watching 👍
Just noticed...the stump with the deer that's the video thumbnail, isn't that the same stump in the reolink go pt video? Great video Dave
Yes. It’s the same location 👍
They've caught on to you, tractor supply has trophy rock granular in a bag 30 lbs $14.99, redmond 10 fine 5 lb bag, $16.99
Haha! 😁👍
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial They don't miss a trick man.
Thank you
Great review and comparison brother
Thank you! 👍
Thanks for the info brother 😊
اسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته هاذا جميل جداً ورائع 👍👏👏🙏
Thanks for watching 👍
Capitalism at work. I love my trophy rock. I put mine on the same oak stump for the last 3 years. There eating the bark off the stump now. Ive seen alot of does and yearlings spending a lot of time on the rock. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching. I appreciate it 👍
Can’t find 50 lbs block no whereby redman
Good info! Thanks!
I appreciate you watching 👍
Great information. Thanks
Thanks for watching 👍
Nicely presented!! This has to be one of your best videos to date . It’s right up my alley,, although I don’t use this product yet . I use fresh apples 🍎, liquid molasses, p.b. And 🌽 corn ..A winning quad for me but I like your powder in salt & molasses.. I definitely have to find the ultimate stump to drill..
Thanks for sharing your Holsteins with us and your prize winning hay ..I’d like to see you relax more in your presentations ..Your a little tentative in front of the camera it seems.. A friendly reminder LOL.
I didn’t catch your latest..it was from Dave phd was it not ??
Thanks for watching, the encouragement, and for the advice. I always appreciate it 👍
Great info Dave, you're spot on with going for the Ag version to save money, I have to ask though.. the buck at 9:52😳, did you have any encounters with him or do you know what ever happened to him?
I had that buck on camera for 4 years. Had a couple close calls with him over the years but never sealed the deal. I saw him show up on a local taxidermist’s website. Congrats to the hunter (whoever you are) 😁👍
Thanks 👍🏻🦌
I appreciate you watching 👍
I hunt private land both farm and swamps...its hard to keep outsiders off so i use the T rock its way less obvious...a block screams GOOD HUNTING AREA...of course the other salts would work too but i like to see them licked till they are Shiney and thin it tells me + trail cam how many deer come to use it...
Yes they eat the dirt and for a long time too...
In NJ you can bait with this on private land but not to sit over it 50yd limit...not legal in gamelands...
I appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts and experience 👍
Thank you sir!
Thanks for watching 👍
TR is 98% salt. That’s why deer like it.
Where i live in tenn. You cant put out salt or anything else because of cwd
Thanks for watching 👍
I learned the hard way, but I too have quit the ''Hunting Labeled'' trap.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch! No doubt there’s money to be saved 👍
Great video
Thanks for watching 👍
Great stuff!!
Thanks for watching 👍
It is exactly the same they can't get everywhere though
Thanks for watching. I appreciate it 👍
Don't break up the salt block!! 5:07
By doing this it will take longer to dissolve through the elements.
This will mean your salt block will last longer in the field and this will also mean more animals will discover it and create a pattern to it
I appreciate you watching and for your input 👍
FYI, Redmond no longer sells a 50 pound bag. Currently they only sell a 5 pound bag for $16.99. Sounds like pictures of cows now cost more than pictures of deer.
Thanks for watching. I’m still able to buy the 50lb bags from my local distributor. Just bought some last week
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial They are no longer available on their website or at my co-op. I’d stock up if I were you. Enjoy your channel.
Buy some Redmons salt, you'll never use table salt again. Tastes so much better.
I appreciate you watching 👍
In NH powder can be ate blocks cannot that is the fine line weather it is legal or not. Powder is a no no here but I do use the blocks. Pre season I use to put 5 pound salt blocks on a notch of a tree and let it melt down it.
Thanks for watching and sharing your experience 👍
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial I can tell you deer do love them.
Gotta update your links bud. Had to order outside affiliate. Thx for the video
