The Prairie Pride Monster Deer Block, 25-Lbs. is a popular supplemental feed designed to attract and nourish deer, particularly during seasons when natural forage may be scarce. Here’s what you should know about it:
Key Features:
– Weight: 25 pounds (convenient for transport and placement).
– Form: Hard block (weather-resistant, dissolves slowly with rain/deer licking).
– Ingredients: Typically contains a blend of grains, molasses, minerals, and vitamins to promote antler growth and overall deer health.
– Attractant: Strong sweet smell (often molasses-based) to lure deer.
– Usage: Ideal for year-round supplemental feeding, hunting plots, or trail cameras.
Benefits:
✔ Long-lasting – Hard blocks dissolve slower than loose feed or pellets.
✔ Nutritional Support – Provides protein, minerals, and energy.
✔ Weather-Resistant – Holds up better in rain/snow compared to loose feed.
✔ Easy to Use – Place on the ground or in a feeder; no mixing required.
Potential Drawbacks:
– Not Immediate Consumption: Deer may take time to discover and adapt to licking the block.
– Wildlife Competition: Other animals (raccoons, squirrels, hogs) may also be attracted.
Best Practices for Use:
1. Placement: Set near trails, bedding areas, or food plots.
2. Monitor Usage: Check periodically to see if deer are consuming it.
3. Combine with Other Attractants (optional): Use with mineral licks or grain for added appeal.
Where to Buy:
– Farm supply stores (Tractor Supply, Rural King).
– Online retailers (Amazon, Chewy, specialty hunting sites).
– Local feed & tackle shops.
