Springtime and refreshin' your Clorox stump

Likely another blast of winter before April but with greenup going on and turkey season near, when do y'all refresh your Clorox stumps?

I usually wait until after that last cold blast and then hit 'em hard so they'll be primed for summer.

We started last week here on the edge of the marshes!!! The rain needs to stop before the water comes up and washes all the Clorox away!! Couple of my regular stumps is just about down to the roots. Them ole soft willow and cypress stumps don’t last long!!

Does any type of tree stump work for a clorox stump? I am looking at cutting down a medium size sweet gum or something.....

Glad you brought this up. Gonna add Chlorox stumps to my supplemental attractant program this year and was wondering when is the best time to apply, before or after Easter.

When we added wild bird seed and sunflower seed to the feeders. (Turkeys love it) We take several gallons with us.

Did a few last week.

I’m in the process of replacing the mock orange (bodock) tree corner post that my great, great granddaddy put up on one of our grazing pastures. So I got to thinking that since these tree posts have a few hundred years of life left that they will make a great Clorox licking post. When the deer lick the bark of these things I’ll post pictures.

What in the Sam Hill are yall talking about??

Now that’s using your head, Jimmy!!! Genius I say!!!

Remember I got a ticket from hunting over one without a baiting permit

Gonna run a test this summer. Have 2 stumps 5 feet apart. Dollar General bleach on one and Clorox brand on the other…

Gonner be a lot of piebalds next year. Disclaimer: Dollar General bleach just gives them heartburn.

Be careful, I ruined some good stumps with Purex.

Looking forward to CNC’s thread around the middle of December.

Has Clorox stumps caused the decline in tracking? Discuss.

Finally an important, informative thread instead of the BS CNC is slinging.

👍

Alan,

Make sure you refresh them at night, under the cover of darkness. Be real quite too. Don't let any deer hear you talk about what you are doing. They might get suspicious and stop using your clorox stumps.

I wait till all my baby calds have crawled from their nooks…they are cute when they’re little

Haha I’m thinking this must be something like a reference to Timber’s mom or a duzen arras.

This feels like going on a snipe hunt to me.

Yeah and I think you and me are the bag men.

Follow the science…. Clorox (sodium hypochlorite) is NaOCl suspended in H2O, table salt is NaCl. If someone were to pour out NaOCL on the ground or a stump and the Oxygen molecule were to evaporate along with the H2O carrier, what would be left behind? Pure table salt, NaCl. Now the question is…. Who is the joke really on? The folks that pour Clorox on a stump or the group trying to convince folks it’s an old wives’ tale?



You don’t have to believe me…feel free to do your own research.

Refreshing at night definitely is a plus, especially close to sanctuary areas where no human can enter without risk of ruining it forever.

A limit on the number of non-residents who can create Clorox stumps is being considered. Gotta protect the future.

Purex blows. Quality matters. Use Clorox.

Uncle runs a pressure washing business. He just picked up 2 drums of the good stuff!!! Game changer. I may even put it on some heart pine stumps I have marked…
No need to post logical information BC it’s irrelevant on this site

Whoooeeeee, two drums? That'll set you up for a good while. Nice!

Be careful putting it out so your hands don't turn piebald bleachy white.

My bad bro. . . I’m suffering from big fish small pond syndrome.

I always serpentine walk in just to be extra careful.

I had to search out new stumps yesterday. Daggum rain made the water come up and diluted my regular stumps!!! But as I poled my pirogue up to them slowly I could see a bunch of crawfish licking on them. They benefit lots of different critters out there.

Definitely will help the crawfish during the rut.

Started one behind the house a couple of weeks ago.Looked out there this morning and two does were already on it…

I started one about a week ago behind the house and have tracks all over it where they have started to dig down in it......

With all the rain we've had recently, it's a good time to freshen your Clorox stump with some go-go juice. Get the good stuff.

That is, unless your stump is nestled within a persimmon thicket that serves as the sanctuary. Then either leave it alone or zip in-out quickly.

It's always the ones who have never tried it that think they know better.

This!! Also all the ones that are looking for something to keep the deer off the summer plots until they can sustain grazing pressure should pot out a Clorox stump or 2 and that will solve their problem. A few $ in Clorox is a lot better then the high $ chemicals or replanting.
