A Little Plot & Mineral Info

[FSU_Seminole]

I just wanted to share some info with you guys, some of you may already know this & its been posted before if so sorry.

This weekend I spent some time at the Bass Pro Shop in Myrtle Beach. They told me that they along with Cabelas have discontinued selling Buck Forage Oats. Both stores had a disagreement with the BF vendor so if you love Buck Forage Oats like I do then you won't be able to find it either store. That really sucks because its a great product. The reason it was dropped is because Bass Pro & Cabelas won't carry your seed unless you have a wide selection of seed varieties & minerals to sell them. I guess its not worth their time to buy only 1 or 2 brands of seeds. Go figure.

Second, for those of you that have PH problems. Evolved Habitats has a new liquid lime solution for 15$ a gallon that you can mix with 8 gallons of water to boost your PH to about 7.0 .5 acre. They claim it will work in about a week if your soil PH is anywhere above or near 6. If its below 6 they claim 2 applications will work. I guess this is a new product because its not even on their official website yet & I haven't found any info about it online anywhere.

Lastly I know alot of us have mineral licks out. I just checked mine Sunday, hadn't checked it for about 5 weeks. I was shocked at the huge depression the deer have made. I've been using the "trophy rock". I placed 2 of them in my lick rougly well over a month ago & both have been pawed, and licked down. Its the best thing I've ever used in a mineral lick. I'll take some photos this coming weekend.

Just put out a trophy rock in our mineral site here yesterday, have had really good results from them. Think cabelas might have their own brand of the same thing as bfo if I am not mistaken. I know they sell several blends as a cabelas brand.


I had used a biologic fertilizer a few years ago, that I had picked up at wal mart. It was priced right, and claims on the packaging were that it was a ph balanced fertilizer, suggesting you could use this without liming. I used that when initially planting our pennington clover/rye plot. the plot did great. We saw more deer in that 1/4 acre plot that fall than we have ever seen in our field before.

I seen that liquid lime solution at BassPro but didn't buy it until I read on here if it works or not.

I'm not sure what's in the trophy rock or where they get it from in Utah but I've NEVER had deer come to a mineral lick the way I have with it.

My mineral site sees a lot of activity normally with whatever I use in it, but there was a noticeable difference when using the trophy rocks. The deer also continued on hitting the site on into the ml season here in November.
