I have used the red colored mineral blocks, Deer Cane, and Trophy Rock in the past.
Do any of you have a homemade mineral lick recipe that they like and seems to be highly effective, that is cost effective?
Just thought I'd see if there is a better option out there that you may use that might save a little money.
Thanks for the incoming input.

I have a good one I can share with you. It's probably not as cost effective as what you are looking for though. I made 4 sites back in February and they are absolutely being highly utilized. I am very impressed with the usage so far. If you are interested PM me your email address or I can text it to you if you use a iphone.

2 parts red trace mineral to 1 part di-cal phosphate . That's it , no extra salt , (trace mineral is 90% salt), no need for kool-aid , jello or anything else either.

Here is what I've been using the last couple years on a few properties and on 2 of them the deer love it and on the one they will not touch it. I just mix this together real good in a 5 gallon bucket and use a hard tooth rake to mix it in the dirt real good.
1 part di-calcium phosphate 2 parts trace mineral 2 parts dried molasses I always thought it was 1 molasses, but I can certainly see adding extra to kill the taste of the di-cal. I might have to try your recipe to top off my licks next month when the weather gets hotter. I put the first round out in March right before turkey season.

I dont think it could hurt anything to give it a try because that molasses sure does smell good.

So I use to mix my own but honestly, buying the trace blocks is the easiest thing to do with similar results. For an attractant, I have never seen anything work as good as trophy rocks.
