Binford-
Nice job getting a kill off of your salt. I usually put all of mine out in mid july. If your targeting elk specifially might i make a suggestion that was taught to me (By Troy i believe) and works very well??
Try breaking those blocks up into 2 or even three different pieces, and spread those pieces 30-40 yards apart. When you get elk coming into salt or mineral licks nearly every time from my experiece of watching from summer study stands the lead cow will take over that single salt station and protect it from the rest of the herd. When she gets her fill infact if have seen both cows and bulls actually lay on top of the hole. By spreading out a station into a few different spots you can postion a stand to where you have shooting angles at all of the blocks. In my experience this will produce a much more productive stand area as far as harvesting animals is concerned if you hunt over the salt.
Try it and tell me what you think.
BTW what type of block is that your using?
I usually just use 3-50lb bags of feed salt poured in the hole with a gallon of mollases in each for each salt site, and then turn to blocks 2 weeks before archery season.
