I Put corn and soy beans on top of block.. beans and corn are eaten right away but they just don't like mineral or salt..They had to taste the salt or mineral. 2 years ago I put a red block out, it sat for 3 months un touched as far as I could see..then suddenly the hogs destroyed it in 2 weeks. I know others who have had deer dig 12 inch deep holes by eating the soil that the salt leached into. At our place Scatter a bag of corn on ground and the deer and hogs will eat every piece once they find it.
