30-06 is so good, I have pictures of turkey eating and even lying in the sites as well as other animals. I have used trophy rocks in the past. but believe me they don't attract better or have better healthful ingredients than 30-06. Do kind of mix it in the soil when you put it down. If you have a camera, put it over the site and see for yourself how it attracts. Read the ingredients on line and see how healthful it is

Anything with 20% or more salt is just an attraction.


It be's that way sometimes.

One last extremely important component is to select clay-based soils for your mineral sites. Sandy or loamy locations will hardly get touched, as many of you have likely noticed, or will now. If you have to wheelbarrow the soil in, do it. Time well spent. Good luck!

I'm following this thread also. I put out some kinda mineral last year and the deer didn't touch it. After reading this I'm starting to think site selection was the issue.

What I read so far is they need to put in clay. It holds up best and doesn’t leach out. We have 19 plots. I’m putting one in each plot starting next week. Hopefully they will use them if they are not using some of them I will change locations.

Sorry, been gone a few days. To ALFisher's question; yes it will be a waste of time using granular, such as the Whitetail Institute's 30-06, in loamy soils. That has been my experience. I have moved all of my sites into clay-based areas, and they destroy every spot. I have one former spot that I used to tote 5-gallon buckets of red clay into. The loamy area hardly got touched until I brought the clay in. Since then, I have moved my site maybe 500 yards to a natural clay area. You may have to do the same if your entire place is loamy and/or incredibly sandy. Hope that helps.

This ^^^^......Clay that stays moist.....A small clay water hole that the mineral can wash into does great

I put out several trace mineral blocks into my established sites last Saturday. I picked up two of the blueberry and molasses scented ones for the heck of it and put them out as well in different locations. Deer loved them, they didn’t last a week. Not sure if they have much nutritional value, I’m gonna look at them and see if they do. If they do, I’ll put a bunch out later when the antlers are growing as doesn’t look like they will last long.

I put out 6 bags of 30-06 this weekend, I put them out in established sites that always hold a little water. This will be interesting to see how they use them, that stuff sure smells good.
