In the Chaco area some hunters hang a plastic bag full of salt from a branch. After a while the condensation starts throwing little drops to the floor. Wild animals discover the place and start visiting it regularly allowing hunters to ambush them. Someone do this in the States?? Seems a good and cheap way of baiting them. L | ||

In the states we just put a block of salt on the ground...four cattle....if the deer come for a lick then consider it a bonus. The real answer to your question lorenzo is that here in the states most people are using feeders or food plots to attract deer. No doubt some still use salt..but for the most part those days are long past. ****************************************************************** R.

We've used salt when I was in Mississippi. The deer seem to love it and will actually create holes by eating or pawing the ground where the salt originally was. They don't seem to be as agressive towards the salt in the Oklahoma Texas area because they can pick enough of it up through their diet and the surrounding soil components.

In some states it is actually illegal. Our regulations vary wildly from region to region - not unlike Africa! Bill | |||

I buy 50lb bags of salt for around $2 US. I just pour it on a stump, on a rotting log, or on the ground. They love it and keep coming back to lick it until they have eaten the wood and dug a hole in the ground. I will admit I've only seen one deer licking salt. They do it mostly at night here as I can see there tracks around the salt licks regularly. There are other products that work the same way such as deer cocane and C'mere Deer.

There ya go . Dope em' up, that would probably make for an easy stalk or a lot of laughing one.Looks like I mispelled it. They sell what they call "Deer Cocaine" here in the states but, I do believe it is also majority salt mixed w/ a few other chemicals but, I don't think there's anything harmful in it. Another thing we have luck w/ here is sweet stuff. Deer are suckers for caramel, Peanut Butter, apples, pears, sugar licks, etc, etc.... Have a Good One Reloader | |||

In my neck of Texas, salt leeches up from the ground in certain areas (bottom of canyons, or by the river). I have a water well that is salty and the river runs salty as the ocean this time of year (lot of evaporation in 110 degree weather). We have no shortage of salt! | |||

Lorenzo - not from the States but from EU - here we regulary give the salt for the hooted game (roes, reds, chamois...) in the spring so they can get needed minerals for better recovery after harsh winter - here is a pic from our place (mind splited trunk with a salt stone at the top) - as you can see at the bottom reds and roes devastated it - one can last for about 3 years then we have to make a new one...  | |||
