Deer Lick

Saw this on youtube and tried it. It really worked!!!! Seemed to bring in more does than Bucks, but Bucks followed the does into the area.

3 tubs of Non-iodonized salt (26 oz each)
3 boxes baking soda (8oz each)
2 tubs of kool-aid, with sugar, cherry or wild apple (makes 8 qt size)
1 box jello.....cherry.

Adds up to Under $15

big hogs also

The few hogs we have had on our property have yet to find it....

Knock on wood

Did you just leave it as a dry mix and dump it on the ground?

Just dumped it dry on the ground. Deer still come to the spot it was at from last season. I just put more down...

By chance do you have a link to the YouTube Video?

Awesome. Thanks a ton.

I'm going to give that a try. Thanks for all the information.

huh, baking soda ... who'd a thunk it

If you look at the commercial deer licks, one of the active ingredients is sodium bicarbonate....AKA Baking Soda.

Thats pretty interesting, have ta give it a whirl.

We have used a similar mix. We just dumped it out on soft ground, and then raked the area with a garden rake. Never really had a recipe, just a few boxes of baking soda, table salt and handful of cherry Kool Aid packs.

I wonder if that mixture attracts hogs as well???

I made a batch last night. Going out to the ranch next Friday to put it in front of a few cameras. I'll post pics of the results

They say it does. we are just lucky not have hogs on our place

Let us know!!!!!

where do you hunt?

Coke County Near Robert Lee

Just bought all the ingredients at WalMart for under $8. Will mix it up and put it out this weekend. I'll put a game camera on it to see what happens and let you guys know.

I put this together and set it out about two weeks ago.




Went to check it this last weekend and deer are hitting it. I have a trail cam setup now and will head back out Satruday to see what I'm getting. That looks like a doe track which is fine but would love to see a buck or two.

Good luck!

That is great. I have my bucket and fixins ready for my herd behind the house. I bet they will love it.

Great to heat it is working for ya....

Keep us updated!!!!!

I checked my cam and had several different does and fawns. Set up a secon lick with cam back in the brush. Will check that one this weekend.

Ok. So checked the cameras yesterday. I have doe, fawns, and turkey. No bucks on camera but that could be my fault. I overthought my camera location and picked a crappy spot. I moved it yesterday so hopefully in a week or so I'll have better pics.

Go buy a Positive Feed 125 # all natural tub and put it out. You will be surprised at the results.

Are the turkey hitting the lick?????

Ok I put this in my feed pin. Unfortunately, I put it too close to my camera so I didnt get pics. Err. However, there is a hole in the ground where I placed it. So they are tearing it up at my place. I placed another pile where I can get picks of them eating it. I'll pull the picks next week when I go for bow open.

I made some and put it out on 9/1 this month. Was there for 3 days after setting up . Although deer came t feeders for those 3 days nothing seemed to touch the stuff.Going up next week for archery I'll up date what I find on camera
