Sounds mighty hard to be a mineral block?? Maybe carve it into a deer shape.. I feel your pain on the over population of deer. We have the horned rodents everywhere and they will eat anything. Maybe ole Rich, sometimes Dale and always wigglinrocks will come down and rope yah a few. Heard you could put salt on the tails to catch them. |

I would for sure give it a hard whacking.. Curious to see the innards. Probably a mineral block. Wonder if Miss Fernie is going to slab it or just keep it as a specimen? Maybe sneak it back out there and be an accomplice to the murder of a deer. Or give it to you and she at least be an accomplice to your getting an easier pile of summer sausage and head cheese.
They must have made the blocks look like that to blend in but Fern sure put the eye on that "rock". Bet she grunted packing that home. SHe better get it away from her yard unless she wants a 4 point chewing her flowers.
They sell a lot of those rocks , not to me . Make it sound like a natural mined rock containing all kinds of good things for deer . Probably just trace minerals and salt mixed into a slurry and baked and pressed , then busted up to look like a rock . Whole lot cheaper to go to the local feed store , buy and mix the minerals and pour it on the ground . That being said , getting about that time of year to pull off a venison murder . Why ya think fernwood hauled the rock home . I'll take the corvette in red , good trade value for a new old Ford truck . Do you suppose that the natural rock shape and appearance is to keep other hunters from taking their bait? Deer are so curious that anything that looks abnormal to them gets investigated. Sure am looking forward to seeing your new corvette prize Rich,,

I don't feel we have the over population issue up here , next few months will be a slaughter fest around here . Too many hunting gangs out for numbers of bragging rights . Times are changing , nobody wants to hunt , just feel the need to kill . |

You guys have the big cities and their males with guns will want to prove their manhood by killing some 95 pound meat bundle wrapped in fur. As a single guy, probably will go hunting too but probably at the bars where the men with guns wives go to have a drink. grinning as usual.. Yeah we got a boatload of deer and elk here in Colorado. More Elk than deer. Gotta rope me to make em more tender. Last one I roped I wws going to ride it but he had different ideas of how things should go... darn.

At least the guys going to hunt on my land are doing it for food. Daughter/son in law will get some of the processed meat. I am allergic to venison, oh well.

Iron and other metal salts manifest itself into rocks in many colors.
I collect silicified fossil coral. It silicify's white or grey.
If it has been sitting in iron(or other metals) rich clay for thousands of years it turns many colors.
Or if it was washed out of the bank and sat in iron rich river water for long periods. Especially in shoals where the water impinges on it.
I know iron is likely the culprit here in Georgia. Browns, reds, oranges and yellows are typical of iron.
Crystalline quartz is also vulnerable to such staining.

My first thought was some sort of electrolysis. Aluminum + iron + acid (rain) can cause movement of electrons. That's why you don't store your hot sauce in a steel pan with an aluminum foil top. So now Scott will want you to test the ph of the rain.
