Question
Dr. Woods-

I’m a big fan of your show, and a bigger fan of your faith. It’s refreshing to see someone who constantly acknowledges the divine hand of our Creator. Thank you for your boldness!
The property that I hunt in Western KY has a decent turkey population. When I started hunting there, it was very small, so I gave the turkeys a pass for a few years to build the flock some. They are a level now that I feel comfortable taking a tom or two this spring. I already have food plots in place, but I was wondering about Trophy Rock. I notice that you use it religiously for both deer and turkey, so I was wondering if you could give me some advice on how to use it. I’ve only use mineral licks for deer in the past.
What is the best blend for turkey? Should I use a Trophy Rock, or the Four65? Where should I put it out? When should I put it out?
Any advice you have is much appreciated! Thanks and God Bless!

Blessings,
Chris

Chris,

Thank you for sharing the encouraging words!  Congratulations on successfully managing the turkey population at your farm!  

I was using Trophy Rock’s Four65 to provide natural trace minerals for deer and kept noticing turkeys actively using it also. There are more turkeys at my place now than anytime since I’ve owned the property and the turkeys continue using the Four65!  

I keep the Four65 out year round and have Reconyx pictures of turkeys using it throughout the year.  I would suggest you do the same.

Enjoy creation,
