Trophy rock source or alternative

[416wbymag]

I have been using them for years with great results. With Gander closed in Knoxville now, I am looking for a new source, I went to Tractor Supply, they had one 12lb. Won't be at Bass Pro for quite a while...

I am open to try something else... any ideas would be appreciated.


Thanks in advance

I would just get TSC to order me a pallet of them. Or you can contact SALTMAN on here. I think he still deals trophy rock.

Have you considered ordering online from the same sources? Buddy of mine just ordered us some TR from Cabela's I believe it was, used a coupon and got free shipping I believe.

Our local Co-op carries them. They can also order you the Redmond granulated in 50 lb bags. This is the same thing as trophy rock. I have switched to this and don't get any pieces carried off when it gets small.

I've had fine results with trace mineral from the local feed stores but ymmv.

Also, most County Co-Ops carry larger sized "trophy rocks" than do most retail stores (such as Bass Pro).

Personally, I use a combination of Red Trace Mineral Salt (extremely low cost) and Trophy Rocks.

If you can find Redmond it is a lot cheaper and from the same mine. Some coops can order it.

Morgan Pro Hardware has the Redmond salt..they did last year, as i asked them to order it. It's right on the way to your lease, so you won't have to haul it as you go. If they don't have it on hand, I believe they would be glad to order it for you. Redmond is the same company that mines and sells Trophy Rock. It is the exact same stuff, just marketed to Cattle and Horse ranchers - at a MUCH lower price than Trophy rock marketed to deer hunters.

We actually lost that lease a couple years back. it's TWRA land now..... I was fortunate though in buying 27 acres in Morgan County but it's on the other side off of airport rd. If 8 can't find it closer I will definitely give them a yell

I did not know that. I've had Redmond recommended to me from several acquaintances for the price difference between it and TR, but none informed me that it was still TR. Hmmmm. Good to know.

Trophy Rock has changed their name to Redman outdoors. I noticed the past issue of QDMA had Jurrassic Rock as their sponsor now instead of TR/Redman. I thought they had changed the name till I looked them up. It's the same rock from the same area but seems to be a little cheaper. I wonder if it's not some of the Redman people that left and started it.

Richard's has the 12 pound rock on sale for $11.98 online with free shipping on orders over $49.

That's a good price but it's hard for me to buy from Dicks after all the stunts they have pulled....

Thats's like cutting off your nose to spite your face!

We have a store around here called "Stockdales". The trophy rocks they carry are usually a little larger than Tractor Supply.

Redmond #10 fine is the one Pastor is talking about. Any Co-Op can order it. It's between 8 and 10 dollars a 50lb bag. It comes from the same mine as trophy rock in Redmond Utah.

[Headhunter]

It comes from the same mine as Trophy Rock because it is Trophy Rock.

I ended up at the Tractor Supply in Rockwood. They only had '12 pound' rocks but after about 20 minutes of sorting, I found one that was 18 lb and two that were 17 lb.

I bought a couple of bags of trace minerals to pour over the top of the rocks. I haven't tried that in the past we will see how it works.

Saw quite a few deer for midday as I was driving down Airport Road towards my place. Hopefully this will be a good season.

I quit using TR and Imperial 30-06 minerals several years ago due to budget constraints....went to plain old trace mineral from co-op and I have not seen a single difference. Now that I can afford the more expensive stuff for my 7 licks, I have no reason to

 

[TreeTop]

$2.00 worth of Morton salt on a stump or a hole in the ground works just as well

 

[Winchester]

Loose trace mineral salt is every bit as effective and cost a fraction, readily available at any Co-op

Morton salt or any salt will work but if you want to see which one works the best put them about 15 yards apart and see which one gets the most use. Others may differ, but I actually did this as an experiment and as long as I kept both fresh they stayed on the Redmond granulated (trophy rock).
