let's say that the area that you hunt floods regularly......
It floods to the point that salt blocks placed on the ground are useless and sometimes the water can get over stumps as well, washing away any type of salt you put out.....
What other options would someone have......?
many years ago, a friend of mine took an old burlap "tote sack", filled it with a broken up salt block and tied it into a tree....
As the rain washed the salt out of the sack and onto the ground, the deer began to find it.....
I can't be sure if the deer ever actually licked the tote sack itself, but I do know that the tote sack blocks lasted alot longer than regularly placed out blocks, even where the flood water was not an issue.....And, if the deer will lick the burlap sack , then that might be a great way to provide minerals to deer where water is an issue.....
any thoughts...?

you can fill it with loose salt, no need to use a busted up block.
