Never Buy A Mineral Block Again - Deer Season Hack 

I also never knew about the salt on the ground and was just educated. I was dumping a bag of water softener salt in one place and they would go to town on it. Now I am gonna soak 18" logs in salt water and put them on top of other stumps that are already on the ground.

Yeah, those cut down on the ticks

Cwd does not come from deer eating out of dirt moron . Lol😂😂😂

Yes, they can. Prions are very very persistent. Infected deer pees and poops in the dirt, other deer browses the area. You get another deer infected. Actually, transmission occurs through saliva too, so author is wrong on that. Infected deer licks stump, another deer licks it later.

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease that affects deer, elk, reindeer, sika deer and moose. It has been found in some areas of North America, including Canada and the United States, Norway and South Korea. It may take over a year before an infected animal develops symptoms, which can include drastic weight loss (wasting), stumbling, listlessness and other neurologic symptoms. CWD can affect animals of all ages and some infected animals may die without ever developing the disease. CWD is fatal to animals and there are no treatments or vaccines. Prions are present in the brain tissue of every living mammal. What causes it is cannibalism introducing them into the bodies of healthy mammals. It is believed this is brought around primarily by the practice of crushing bones and skull fragments into calcium supplements that are then added to feeds with the intent of being fed back to cattle. This is where CWD is believed to originate in animals. Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans is prevalent among the cannibals of Papua, New Guinea. It is not found randomly in the soil, unless the soil has been contaminated by a dead animal. The term 'prion' was coined by Stanley B. Prusiner of the University of California School of Medicine at San Francisco in 1982 to distinguish the infectious agent that causes scrapie in sheep, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle from other, more typical infectious agents. The prion hypothesis postulates that these diseases are caused not by a conventional virus or bacterium but by a protein that has adopted an abnormal form.

Just drill some holes

Always just put the the tip in.

Hopefully we can keep it that way too. I’m not liking how widespread it is on the maps though.

It's more widespread than their saying. bleach or alcohol will not kill it.

You can do it now...so the deer will know where it is before season starts

@@Anamericanhomestead haven't seen the deers this year, nor the wild turkeys, foxes.......I'm getting concerned....I'll still put out the salt block.......cause somebody needs it...another tip......once garbage day is done I leave my garage open come Winter time...don't want em to freeze

Salt is a preservative.

I would suggest the bagged version of Trophy Rock, (it's bugging me that I can't recall the name of it) but it's great for the developing deer as well as mature deer, and they love that stuff! Got 2 stumps I did 2-3 years ago, still got em hitting it. Good luck!

Trophy nuggets

Where have I seen you before? I love your vlogs!♡

Thanks Lina.👍

Thanks for stopping by....would love to visit up there one of these days.

An American Homestead if you are ever in the neighborhood let me know. We’ll take you out to see some whales and if it’s in August do some salmon fishing.

Just FYI bears do rip apart stumps and logs on a regular basis.

Childish and stupid.

LMAO I can dig it. Was funny as hell.

Trophy rocks are the best

Cattle block is all you need used them for years. I also bust mine in half and they still last well through the season.

Dylan H , I’ve put a Trophy Rock, salt block, and mineral block in front of my game camera before as an experiment. The deer ate the Trophy Rock to nothing before they touched the other two. Nothing that I’ve tried works as well as a Trophy Rock. The only downside is their cost.

@@ramchargerdodge tractor supply has the trophy rocks on sale right now for $9.99

Trophy rock don't deteriorate in the rain or snow.i been using trophy rock for over 12 years on my property

Absolutely!! I would also add a quality mineral block on occasion and top it with something like Buck Jam!!

I was thinking the same thing. You could even pour some deer cane in there. I am going to try this!!!

THANKS

Concur… I thought the "hollow trunk' would have done roughly the same thing.

I'm not allowed to put out ANY unnatural attractants (non growing) here in MO and my opening weekend was an absolute BUST last weekend. I think i'm gonna do the Drill n Fill method pretty soon

I got 6 out been using them four over 10 years

There's over 65 minerals in a trophy rock

@@eugenelaky1993 It's still 91-96% salt. Not enough of the desired minerals to matter. Better off making your own or looking at other brands

@@StrungOutOutdoors my bucks gotten slot bigger since using trophy rock.my deer hit it all the time even in the winter with the heavy snow

There's are other minerals in a trophy rock that aren't In the 50 pound saltblock

Looks like u should make your own video instead of blowing up this guy's post

It all comes out in the wash!

We will usually put out Azomite on the garden areas. Great source for I think 60 or more trace minerals. Great for your garden.
