wtnhunt Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Re: Deer CoCain Some times it takes them a little time to find minerals. Best results I have had have ben with sites setup near well used trails where the ground is pretty flat and will hold some water. Loosen the soil or dig just enough of a hole for the minerals to set down in and not run over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Re: Deer CoCain yep--i've tried it and it works. wtnhunt gave some great advise on proper placement but it does usually take a little while for them to find it. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeWalker Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Re: Deer CoCain See, now I've had the adverse affect........I tried it and thought the stuff was junk cause I never got any response to it..........it wasn't till i started mixing my own salt/mineral concoction together, that i really started to see some action at my mineral sites.....

Bownarow Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Re: Deer CoCain Watch out where you put that stuff. If you get caught, it is illegal in Illinois to put that stuff out. I do not care personally, I just wanted to give you a heads up in case you didn't know already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoyt19 Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Re: Deer CoCain Thats no different then buy items like the Draw Loc in IL or string tacking devices, not illegal to own, but illegal to use. Where I hunt the farmer has mineral licks out inside of his horse pastures that the horses are in. Thats legal to have out, and the deer do use it, but it is still illegal to hunt over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That in mind wal mart has "deer corn" in there stores all through the season . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterbucks1 Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Re: Deer CoCain i tried it once, didi not get good results. it was probably due to bad location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bownarow Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Re: Deer CoCain You can still buy it in Illinois stores I know. Our local stores like that sells all the deer feed stuff too. They do have signs posted in our store here that say "know you local game laws before purchasing." I assure you though it is illegal to have it out at anytime of the year. It used to be like "wtnhunt" said, where you just had to remove 10 days prior to hunting. However it has since been made illegal at all times of the year. It's actually listed on page 7 of the Illinois Digest of Hunting and Trapping Regulations. Like I said before. No skin off my back I just wanted to give you the heads up.

gitcha_some Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Re: Deer CoCain this stuff works great for me...but the deer took almost a year to really dig into which surprised all of us. Now there is a 3 foot deep 10x4 ft. wallow behind my dads deer stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad dryden Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Re: Deer CoCain I have used it and I think it works great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhtr1 Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Re: Deer CoCain It may take some time. I have hunted several different locations. Some they will hit it the first week and other times up to a year. The time were I had fast results were close to the Mississippi River. This may have something to do with the sandy soil close to the river. Also I think their diet can also effect how much sodium they need. I think soil type has alot to do with it. You can also put it out in a wrong spot but the deer will find it anywhere and start using it. One of our biggest best spot was a spot where my friend was hauling a 50 lb bag over his shoulder and slipped and dropped it. This became a really hot spot so we kept it up.
