Axis on our place love a plain old white salt block. Hogs rarely touch it too, which is a huge bonus.

I did some reading a while back and my understanding is that they all taste like salt, and are therefore palatable to the deer, but that the trace mineral block also provides essential minerals. My deer hit mine really hard during the antler growing season.

The red, 50lb trace mineral blocks are what I prefer.
Shane, I think you're talking about 'Trophy Rock'.

Originally posted by Txhuntr2 View PostI think the one that looks like a rock sounds like the Trophy Rock. Its a trace mineral block marketed to hunters. Feed stores have a 50lb version that looks like a red salt block for about the price of a plain salt block. Might be worth a look.

Yep that’s what I’m talking about right there.
Found a pic on my phone with one. I like to put them on stumps if possible, with the thought the wood conveniently soaks up the minerals when it rains. No idea if it matters, dirt does the same.
Another pic. Aoudad working on one.
