dave dog Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Been told in writing that i can now shoot the deer on a farm i shoot at. Have seen in several shooting presses the salt licks that bush wear are selling. Would like to know what members think of them that are using them. And what sucess they have at bring in the deer. Can't rearly shoot to many deer this year as don't what is on the ground. And they seem a good way of finding out what deer are in the area. Any feed back on these licks would be great Are they or are they Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any feed back on these licks would be great Are they or are they Dave I have used them, they never seem to do anything, they do have this paste stuff saltz paste anis tub a friend of mine says it draws deer in on boundaries and you move the post in a few feet every time onto your land so you can shoot them What I often do, is go down to my local supermarket speak to the manager about buying the apples they bin and just scatter them about in a area you want the deer, Ive shot a few doing it that way.

Going to set out in a ride in the forest tomorrow morning. Tonyc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuey Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Farmways has horse salt licks in various flavours for less than 2 quid, and they also do a holder than could be affixed to a tree etc. cheers Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redgum Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Deer like a bit of wheat, have put a few salt, mineral and flavoured licks around and so far never seen a deer near them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Stick a few Pheasant feeders full of wheat up, that will bring them around. Can't keep the ******* off my feeders during the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackReady Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 I've tried them blocks, paste and tubs and never had any major success with any of them. What has worked are the veg processors rejects, carrots, neaps, and apples. But the best of all is cattle feed bean tailings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildfowler.250 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 What else besides apples and wheat is good then? Sprouts? Neeps? Tatties any use? Is it worth putting anaseed in the feeder aswell? :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
