Mega-Rack Man

Who's all using minerals and what? Anyone ever hear of Mega-Rack?
mnshedhunter said:Yea, the 25lb salt block is overkill no doubt, but the deer really seem to draw into that big white salt block! then they still eat around the block and get the minnerals.. I have tested minneral licks with blocks and without, and for some reason the sites with the blocks always outperform.
what do you think is in all the over the counter stuff you buy? start looking at the lable its almost all salt. the deer will not eat the minnerals plain. Its mixed with the salt so they will eat it! trust me , I have been running minneral sites for about 15 years and trying alot of different mixes!
the molasses i added about 5 years ago, this mix is dynomite! How many inches it actually adds to a bucks rack is another story.. I myself dont think it does much! but it makes for some great camera locations and i believe it help the does and general heard more than anything.
Hoyt Freak said:Yes it is very hard to find a mineral that doesn't have much salt in it. But the last few years my brother and I have been using the mineral that the old owner of lone wolf makes. This stuff is top notch it puts assume mass on the deer and adds a lot of inches to them. I would have to look on the bag but I think is only like 30 or 35% salt. But I might do the same as u this year and put a salt block in my mineral sights.
I use Mega-Rack and it is the most loaded and most balanced mineral product I've seen on the market. It is low in salt - 11%-13%. I haven't seen any other product that even compares to it. And the rain doesn't wash them away like other products i've used. Check out the pictures I posted on here. If you want the best you should really check them out!
I make my own, its alot cheeper than the store stuff.. I was using whitetail institute 30-06 and it worked great but it was 30$ for a 25 lb bag..
I make my own and i get 250lbs for 60$!
i got it from a QDM website after doing alot of research on the subject...
its one 50 lb bag of Di-calcium Phosphate, (not the DiCalcium with Selenium mix)
one 50 lb bag of fine mixing salt
two 50lb bags of trace minneral salt
and one 50lb bag of dryed molasses
mix it all together and i put about 75lbs per site! top it off with a 25lb block of white salt in the middle)
ANYONE ELSE HAVE A SECRET MIX TO SHARE?
Based on your name I assume you are a distributor of this product ??
