rifleman25 Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Re: home made mineral licks? I dont know of a thread here but this is my own recipie. Let me tell you it is bad medicine for whitetails. They keep coming back again and again. WHITETAIL DEER HOMEMADE MINERAL MIX RECIPE Ingredients: Makes 200 lbs. for about $23.00 1 part Di-calcium phosphate, this is a dairy feed additive bought at feed stores. Comes in 50lb Bags at around $11.00 you need one bag. 2 parts Trace mineral salt, the red and loos kind without the medications. Comes in 50lb Bags at around $5.00 you need two bags. 1 part Stock salt, ice cream salt. Comes in 50lb Bags at around $2.00 you need one bag. Directions: -Use a 3 pound or similar size coffee can to use as your measure for each part of the mix. -Mix all together well but not until read to use, keep ingredients separate until ready to put to use. -Dig or tear up a circle in the soil about 36 inches wide and about 6 inches deep. -Mix your mineral mixture with the soil. Maintenance: -Replenish in 6 months with fresh supply of mineral, and then each year there after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasDeerHunter Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Re: home made mineral licks? The deer in my area tend to quit using the licks around the fall. During the summer they sure wear them out. What about yall's area, do they use them year round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
