I have not heard results from anyone using ADE. I needed to keep cost down and results high that is what I have had using this. The mix I give on here is from Whitetail QDM site. I have spoke to many guys that have had great results using this same recipe. Other things could easily work just as good but I just wanted a good site for trail cam pics. Good Luck let me know your results if you use ADE.

I used 25 lbs of salt, 25 lbs of dicalcium phosphate and 50lbs of trace mineral. It worked great. I have also added to the mix this year 25lbs of dried molasses to sweeten the pot. So far working great. You can certainly put the full mix out all at once or break it up smaller as long as the mix percentage is right. 1 part salt, 1 part di cal and 2 parts trace mineral. Good luck

I always wondered if I could do something like this and it work lol well after 50 bucks worth of acorn rage(which does work but gets expensive) I wish I would have found this a lot sooner thank you for the video

Can you tell your viewers why it is necessary to only mix the amount you are about to use please? {Reason being: Does this formula or recipe have a short shelf life when all its ingredients mixed together?} Thanks,

Went to my local feed store and inquired about all three of the minerals you suggested. Trace minerals- I was told it came in second place to a produce called {ADE Mineral supplement} Counter person said ADE was a bit more beneficial to an animal growth because of the vitamins A,D&E3 in its mix.. ADE was substantially higher in cost too than Trace Minerals. Have you yourself or heard of anyone else using ADE over Trace Minerals? Do you think the ADE & its cost difference is worth changing to?

Curious? If indeed molasses is added into the mix. At what % rate is it used please? If standing ground water is found latter in the lick area itself. Will that water inhibit the compounds attraction? If so, About how often does the lick need to be re-freshened? If not, again about how often does the lick need to be

re-freshened then? thanks,
