    Hey i picked this up at canadian tire and I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with this. Its the Rack Stacker Glory Mineral Fountain. Just wondering how much success you guys have had with it if any. Or any other minerals that you guys use that you like. And you think this stuff just works for whitetails or will it work for mulies and blacktail? And whens the best time to use this stuff will it work all year or is it seasonal?

    Thanks for the help, all suggestions are welcome.

    I've never used the fountains, but I have used the rackstacker glory powdered minerals aswell as the fixation apple attractant and both worked really well. As for blacktails and mulies I have no clue since we don't have any here in Ontario. But I have had moose and bears come to it a bit.

    Did you just use them around hunting season or all year round?

    Yes ,this stuff will work all year. Puts Deer co-Caine to shame.I like the Glory(blue) since it seems to attract the bucks better than Blaze(red). I have pics of a stump that was eaten to the ground within a few months...stump was rotten but 2ft across,2ft high

    Awesome!! Did you just put the mineral on the stump? You didn't do the whole tree cutting thing? And can't you just put in on the ground? Or is it best on a stump or a tree?

    For the fountain you'll want to cut the top of a tree off but I think montec was talking about the powdered minerals, which you just pour on a stump.

    Yes, I was talking about the powdered mineral. It's the same as the fountain,just applied differently. Powder mineral on a stump attracts far less attention from trespassers that the bucket on a tree.I have met Steve Elmy(owner of Rackstacker) on a few occasions. He does not recommend putting it on the ground. The other option I do is find rotten tree trunks. I will cut them about 4ft long, then cut them in half lengthways so you have a flat surface. I then cut lines and gouges before I pour the mineral on,this lets penetration into the log.This option lets you decide where you want to put the mineral and not have to rely on a low,damp stop.This way will keep them coming even in dry years.

    Sweet thanks! So doing the whole fountain thing isn't necessarily the best option, putting it on a rotting stump would be just as good if not better.
