    So with the weekend of the 4th winding down yesterday I decided to check my trail cameras. Boy was I in for a shock. This first spot I checked, I have a new buck that showed up and Im sure he is just traveling through but if I could get him to stick around for about the first month of the archery season, I can surely tell you that I would be one happy hunter!!!

    And here at my second site the bucks are really hitting the homemade lick!! They are just laying around watching their Buddies eat up my mixture of, lets call it "Pure Heaven"!! :lol:

    I have the same problem. I am in NE Ohio, I used to have it shipped from fleet farms but they won't ship it anymore. Did you find a place to get the di calcium phosphate? Thanks!

    Local coops more than likely have it if they have a feedmill otherwise I got mine at Mills Fleet Farm.

    Our feed mill has di-cal by the 50lb bag. I just started finally making my own mix this year. I would check any local feed mills in your area first.

    The Di-Cal can be hard to find at times. Best places to look are your farmer's elevators that cater to actual farming operations, not just your local TSC or Farm and Fleet.

    Is there something I can supplement for the ultimate deer base?
