Here are a couple of trace mineral blocks I put out about two weeks ago. I prefer to get a 1-1/4 drill bit and drill a hole about 4" deep and find a small hardwood tree. Cut the hardwood about 10 - 12 inches off the ground and put the block on there. As it rains the minerals will soak into the tree stob and roots plus gives them more room to paw around under the block. I've had much better success doing them like this than sitting directly on the ground.
Post up some pics if you got em.

We never went to all that trouble, we just took a shovel and a small sledge hammer and about 2 gallons of water to the salt lick site with us. We'd dig a hole about the size of the block, bust it up into a bunch of pieces in that hole, and then pour the water to it. Deer would wear that spot out forever.

Ice cream salt works great also.
