Hey grizz I think warning shot meant for the DEER not YOU :lol: :lol: .
No wonder you grew so big, you always finished up you minerals.

Warning I am using a mineral fountain from Backyard Wildlife and man do the deer love it. You find a dead tree cut it about 8-9 ft above the ground, then screw the bucket to the top. The bucket contains the minerals and it has small holes in the side so that when it rains the water filters through the minerals and runs down the tree. The deer will lick the bark right off the tree. I have pics every morning and night of the deer at the tree.
I didn't really answer your question but gave you an option anyway. I have no idea what minerals are in the pail but they smell good. The contents might be listed on the pail but it is in the bush, can't read it from hear. :wink:

I'll not dignify this mockery with a rebuttal.

Sometimes a man's just gotta "rise above"! :P :lol:

Darn it, I wasted 2 mineral blocks by placing them in the woods. Oh well if I become unemployed I will go get them and eat them myself! LOL

No doubt I know where my bread is buttered, Bob (All the wonderful meals are a job benefit :wink: ) ... but I could cook before I ever had a congregation!

I learned how from watching my dear old Kentucky grandma ... who could sling some serious hash, lemme tell you! :shock:

Not this granny; she was my maternal grandmother, born in the Kentucky Bluegrass, from Boone County, near Walton. Her dad was a straight-laced country store owner.

My other grandma was born in the Eastern Kentucky mountains, in Jackson County near McKee. Her folks knew David Akeman's (Stringbean from Hee Haw) folks, and her dad was, in fact, a rather celebrated moonshiner and bootlegger. :P :lol: As to her shooting abilities, I know she knew how to use a revolver! :shock:

Hope your recipe is good Grizz, we aren't allowed to use these anymore in Michigan so I guess I'll try this for dinner tonight. Better than letting it go to waste. And you'll be a hero if my husband likes it.

On second thought, that might bring in the bears as well.
Oh, man! :shock:

EVERYTHING loves peanut butter ... including me! :P :lol: :wink:
