Stump Likker

Minerals & Molasses - Paw'n, Knaw'n, Deer Lick'n Good!
Deer love molasses, crave minerals, and enjoy knawing stumps. STUMP LIKKER provides beneficial nutrients that deer want... plus, a treat that they will enjoy. Bucks are attracted to the STUMP LIKKER site by mineral vapors of Deer Cane and the sweet smell of molasses. Once there... bucks and does consume the molasses/mineral soaked wood, until all of the soaked wood is gone. With each application, they really do... paw, knaw, & lick your stumps right out of the ground. STUMP LIKKER is made for stump tops and soaks into the stump, penetrating the decaying wood particles. Then when activated by morning dew or rainfall, the mineral vapors and the aroma of sweet molasses fill the air, inviting those big bucks out to devour the stump. Once found, the STUMP LIKKER site becomes a source of beneficial minerals for the deer and will aid in patterning their movements.

"Active Minerals"
Evolved Habitats has pioneered the use of "active minerals" in wildlife attractants. We were amazed at the results of certain active minerals when combined with sweeteners. The most desired and natural candy available is molasses and once we discovered how to combine these different types of ingredients, we were glad we hadn't given up... our test results blew the old charts away.
Easy Step-by-Step Directions...
1. Remove debris and rotting vegetation from around the decaying stump. (We recommend using hardwood stumps rather than softwood stumps.)
2. Pour the liquid minerals over the stump, using enough STUMP LIKKER to soak all of the rotting wood. Apply approximately 1 quart of STUMP LIKKER per 12 inch diameter of stump.
3. Reapply as soon as all of the penetrated wood has been eaten.

Note: Expect high activity after first rainfall.
When to use...
Stump Likker can be used during any season. Deer never loose their sweet tooth! While they do not consume equal amounts of minerals in each season, our testing consistently reveals that deer never stop seeking and patterning themselves around consistent mineral supplement sites. Rainfall or heavy dew will actually make Stump Likker activate into the stump and the aroma will lift into the air... expect new deer after the first rain. Product washed off harder stumps is not lost because deer rush in to consume the soil around the stumps. We highly recommend the application of Stump Likker to large inactive mineral sites that are not palatable to deer or that deer are having trouble locating.
Test Results...
When applied to rotten stumps, all of the soaked wood will be eaten/consumed. When applied to harder stumps, there will be knaw'n, paw'n, hook'n, and lick'n marks all over the stump, and the ground near the stumps will be torn up. Highest activity in first 20 days, and after first rainfall or heavy dew.
Helpful Field Tips...
STUMP LIKKER can be mixed with or poured over plain salt or deer minerals to activate and start attracting deer immediately to your mineral sites. Use a paste made of STUMP LIKKER and deer minerals on your stump tops to increase the intake of supplements that you are providing to your herd.

Note: Stump Likker can also be used to rejuvenate old mineral licks by simply pouring the liquid nutrients evenly over the old site.
