Anyone ever make a mineral pit for deer? Last year between my spring plot and fall plot (which isn't far, they are pretty close together) I dumped some salt, after that dissolved away I put a trophy rock out and they were hitting it up pretty decent. This year I shopped around for a bit and decided instead of throwing out another trophy rock, I bought a 20lb bag of Whitetail Institute 30-06 mineral. I chopped up about the top 3 inches of soil in the same spot I had the TR last year and poured about 1/4-1/3 of the bag and chopped it into the ground a bit. Let me tell you boys...this stuff is magic! Deer have been tearing it UP! I have freshened it up about 3 more times over the last month and half or so and still have almost 1/4 of the bag left. Prolly never use another mineral again. As soon as I started it they immediately started digging in the soil and Ihave video after video of them actually eating the soil and mineral.

Any else have different minerals they use? Or maybe a mixture they mix themselves?
