Any feed store worth it's salt should have mineral blocks.... :mrgreen:

Buckerfields, Otter Co-op, Newmac in Cloverdale, the Viterra Mill Store in Chilliwack, Country West, Hometown feeds on Glover Rd, Vanderveen's Hay on #10 in Surrey etc...

I find that the loose course salt works the best I will be posting pictures of the ground that the deer have dug up over the last few months the loose salt has gone into the ground when it rained and the block will not do as good of a job when it rains..http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/icons/icon14.png ,as said any feed store will carry what you are looking for :).

Keep n mind the colored salt blocks usually have about 4-5 % added mineral only.
A true mineral supplement will come in a different form with added grains and protein and such

On another thread, some guys haven mentionned getting good results with water softener salt pellets as well. You can get those anywhere, Canadian Tire, etc...

Co-op in pitt meadows has the blue salt blocks and the brown mineral blocks. I use the blues for my trailcams they seem to work the best, I do also use the mineral licks but the blues seem to work the better.
