Did my minerals a couple weeks ago. I was at Basspro getting a few things for the Erie trip and had a few bucks on a gift card, so I went ahead and grabbed a bag of Deer Cocaine. This is a spot that I can't put a salt block like some of my other places. I haven't used this brand before but it's basically salt, with some apple scent.
The first hole has been in place for close to fifteen years. The deer destroy the ground and have a great sized hole there. I did my usual routine.....I used a metal spade and chopped the dirt up a bit, mixed the powder with water and dumped it, then mixed the dirt up some.
The second was a new site about 600 yards away. Raked the grass away and repeated the process.
I checked them both this afternoon and they both have tracks around them, but they are covered in deer wiz! What the fug is that about?? I don't normally hang cams on them, but I am going to put one over the first and see what's going in. The only thing I can think of is that maybe I need a few good rains to dilute the concentration of sale, but the doesn't explain the pee situation.
