    Been doing generic 5lb mineral blocks for years, but this year, I have been putting out a bucket of lucky buck once a month (a gallon of it every two weeks), and the results have been impressive for the amount of activity/destruction where I have been dumping it.

    Will have to wait and see if it produces anything noticeable in increased antler growth, but if it helps with the general health of the herd, it has done its purpose...

    I usually mix up my own using di-calcium phosphate, trace minerals, and Buck Grub for some flavor and added fat/protein. They tear it up, so it does it's job.

    Yep, me too! I have tried several different things, and this seems to work the best.
