This experiment pretty much went bust due to camera battery issues. Turns out the batteries in the camera were getting low. Took almost 10 months of very heavy usuage (everyweek taking pictures) to get the energizer lithium AAs to give up. Impressive. Although I don't know what tore it up- some kind of animal went to town on the topper. It was gone within the first 4 days, all that was left was the salt block. The salt block took a real beating during the last 3 weeks (of pretty much continual rain here).

I did a snake oil experiment last yr. here on my farm. Bought one each of every mineral or salt block Cabelas offered. Placed them side by side next to a protein feeder and corn feeder I run yr. round. Deer hammered corn of course and normal protein consumption. All the blocks slowly melted away with hardly any deer usage.
I believe all the blocks , potions , big deer on bag stuff is for the most part snake oil. Marketing but of no real value. That doesnt mean I wont try something else this yr. though
Bottom line is nothing beats the basics: foodplots, protein supplements, and smart herd and habitat mgt.
