Ok as promised in another thread here is a few pictures of my mineral lick for deer. [Moose also use this lick] It started as a 3 ft circle about 2 inches deep its now about 6 ft in diameter and at the deepest spot it is about 16 inches deep.

Good stuff. Where can you purchase deercain ?

Most outdoors stores carry it, if not ask them to order some. Give me a bit of time and I will post all info on it.

Holy Moly!!

The price is a bit more than what I said in the other post its about 10.50 per bag [the wife picks it up she informed me it was a bit more]

Deer co-Cain is a beneficial mineral supplement that attracts deer by releasing a mineral vapor trail. After initial application, moisture will cause these minerals to keep reacting and attracting deer. Bucks seeking minerals for overall health and rack development will be drawn to the site to lick, paw, mark and consume the minerals.

Bucks will want to protect the Deer co-Cain site by rubbing, scraping and rolling in the mineral site to mark it as their own. The buck’s action will naturally lead to the attraction of more deer. Over time, a large deer wallow will be created as many deer develop the habit of frequenting the site to consume the beneficial minerals.

Mix Concentrate:
1. Select Site.
2. Clear all vegetation in center of site. (approx 4’ circle)
3. Pour Deer co-Cain into 6-8 gallons of water, stirring the water as Deer co-Cain is added into the container.
4. Slowly pour this mixture onto the cleared bare spot to allow the solution to soak the site.
For Instant Results... Mix entire contents of bag with 6-8 gallons of water. Apply to a bare spot.

Ready-To-Use Liquid:
1. Select Site.
2. Clear all vegetation in center of site. (approx 4’ circle)
3. Shake Liquid Well.
4. Slowly pour entire gallon of liquid onto the cleared bare spot allowing the solution to soak the site.
For Instant Results... Shake well then apply to a bare spot 4’ in diameter.

Time Release Block:
Place one or two blocks in an established Deer co-Cain or other mineral site to provide months of attraction without having to return to the site. To establish a new site, place one or two blocks in the middle of a bare spot, 4’ in diameter. Rainfall will be needed to activate the site, allowing the minerals to fully leach into the ground.
For Instant Results... Use in combination with Deer co-Cain Mix or Deer co-Cain Liquid.

Sticky Sweet Gel:
Thickly spread over a decaying log or stump and it will slowly soak into the wood making the whole thing a treat that your deer will consume. Reapply until the entire stump or log is consumed. Can be used to create a lick on bare ground by just pouring over the site and letting it soak in.
For Instant Results... Spread over a rotten log or stump.

This company also has a new premium formula black magic ready to use powder that you just pour onto your site its what I use now.

Sounds like good stuff, unfortunately my hunting area usually is frozen or covered in snow when I get there.  Guess I had better find a local area to hunt.

Yes, it wouldn't really help you much for where you need to go, as it should be replenished at least every 60 days

Wow, that looks crazy!!!!! I'm gonna check my mineral lick site out this weekend. I used the Backyard Wildlife Products Mineral fountain... only I didn't nail it to the top of a cut tree. I just dumped it in a wallow I raked and cut out of the ground.
