I use trophy rock now but the most "successful" lick I ever made was in Jackson county very near the Boils wma. I used the buy and mix recipe that everyone used 30 years ago., put it all in one hole, like 150 lbs. It's still there, like a small pond now!
Trophy rock. Main reasons is to get summer inventory. The dry up pretty much around labor day. Have used a few different things but Trophy rock seems to do pretty good.
I'm using the anilogics bagged minerals with a trophy rock in the middle of it. I'm seeing alot of pics now of the deer being back on the minerals pretty hard.
