Anyone have any luck with Whitetail Institute 30-06 minerals?

Decent results. A plain trace mineral block from the co-op was more popular with my deer than this was though.

I have tried the 30-06 before, the deer used it some but I have
better luck with a trophy rock..LAST week I poured out 2 cans of powder
Gatorade mixed it with a 50 pound bags of trace MINERIAL salt.
I Put out a trail camera to see how it works.

Been using for years and this year will be the final time. Deer don’t use it! I thought maybe I was doing something Wrong so I changed the spots, changed how big I mad the area, how much mineral I put in each one... the deer simple haven’t used it no matter what I’ve done

What is the purpose of the Gatorade? Do you know someone that has had success with it?

Something, I just thought about,will let you talk know how it turns out.

We have put it out. Only got a few pics off it. Poured a sack of corn on top of it after a few weeks. It was gone in less week.

30-06 has a lot lower salt content to it, that's why deer don't use it much. I put some out 20 years ago and the deer didn't mess with it. I called them and they asked if they're were any other salt sources in the area and I said yes, everybody got salt out. He said well that's the problem. Deer are attracted to salt. Any benefits a deer gets from the minerals is by accident. 30-06 is designed to be healthier for the deer with a reduced salt content, but they like salt, so it defeats the purpose of using it.

Thanks for your responses.

People use KoolAid to lure by scent

Regular trace mineral block is better than no minerals - at the right time of year.. No trial with 30-06. Trophy rock is the best, however they are kind of expensive.

As long as you put it over a trophy rock.

How to turn salt into gold. First, package loose salt in a bag. Or press salt into a block. Or you may prefer to package salt to look like a rock. Next, add trace minerals. A good rule of thumb is 99% salt and <1% trace minerals. Think of a catchy name to sucker....er...entice hunters. Examples: Booner Block, Rack Attack, Antler Overdrive, Trophy Boost, and Drop Tine. If you want to go all out, then post a lot on Facebook to show the giant bucks killed thanks to your product. Advertising needs to create the perception that these bucks only reached mature trophy class because of your "nutritional supplement."

On a serious note, there are several DIY recipes that are easy and affordable. If in doubt, add more salt!

I have started leaving "regular" salt out of the mix we use all together. We use Trace mineral salt and Dical. The Trace has enough salt to keep them coming back. SOMETIMES if we are feeling real adventurous we add some grape KoolAid or any smell good powder on top to help the deer find it a little quicker.
Started messing with some of the commercial mineral supplements this year ( trophy rock, Big and J) and haven't noticed any different. all are getting used. Actually have one bachelor group visiting two different sites. One is home-brew and the other is a trophy rock.

I have used them all, but Trophy Rock is by far my best results in
,getting lots of pictures. When I'm hunting the deer seem to always
go to the trophy rock when eating in the greenfeilds
I have started putting Gatorade out on my MINERIAL LICKS
and the deer seem to love it.
When I figure out how to post
Pictures I have some good bucks to show
You guys.
