Buckeyenut Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I created a couple of mineral sites last month using W.I. 30-06 plus. I'm curious to know if anyone has used this product, and if so what type of results did you see? How often do I need to replenish the sites? I put 20#-25# down on each site. Thanks!

dogdoc Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 it will leach into the soil and last for a long time but I refresh my mineral stations about every 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Never used that particular type mineral, but use others and they work. Usually replenish mine every 3-4 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 (edited) Haven't used that particular product. What we're using we get from our local co-op that's about 22% to 25% salt and the rest minerals, etc. It comes in 50# bags and we refresh ours with one bag each May. We have 19 mineral lick sites refreshed this year scattered around ~2,850 acres. They all get hit pretty hard during the warmer months of the year but not much at all during the cooler months. They all had signs of heavy usage when I refreshed them last month. Edited June 3, 2009 by Rhino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorden Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Never used that product before, we mix our own minerals. Usually we will replenish them every few weeks during the summer months:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeyenut Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I appreciate all of the feedback. The 30-06 plus is a Whitetail Institute product that has roughly 17% salt and the rest vitamins and minerals including calcium, iodine, zinc, vitamins A,D,E, and 10 other essential minerals. It also has a 10% protein boost added. I'll keep you all updated on the progress- hopefully with pix in the Fall! Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I'll keep you all updated on the progress- hopefully with pix in the Fall! Thanks again! The only pics you'll have will be of Rink holding a 170 pig. What heck am I talking about, I'll be holding the 170. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2008 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 That stuff is great! All I've heard of is deer digging giant holes where the mineral laid. A friend of mine from Osceola, WI has had great success with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rink's not allowed down there- he can hunt in Avon! :DAs far as you- that would be cool with me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
