I am constantly on the look out for cheap alternatives to the more pricey hunting products. I do this out of necessity rather than my desire to just be thrifty!
Heres how it went down for me recently in a local hardware store. A gentleman comes in looking for a bag of water softner salt. I strike up conversation with him and he tells me a good friend has informed him that he has recently put out a bag of this salt and the deer just love it!
So I get to thinking about this approach. A small salt brick would cost about 7-9$. A large bag of softner salt would cost about 6-7$. Makes sense to me to go with the large bag. Many times what you would get in a brick, plus much easier to handle and put out at different sites.( It is pelleted)
Just more food for thought. I will update soon as to how it turns out for me. Remember to check local regulations before you use any type of attractant.
