this may be a stupid question, but what should the center of the blocks temp be, before calling it ready? I would assume 350, but I've been wrong before, and I'll be wrong many more times.
Just from a baking point of view... I'm guessing that if the middle is not done, then it won't be "bound" - so when the critters get to the center, it'll be a goooey toostie pop that falls apart, vs that solid granola that will remain in tact longer. I'm guessing he is calling it 350 in the center, not sure there.
At the time I could make these for about 5.00 and they had considerably better ingredients. (Less salt and filler than store blocks) This year they are probably more like 7.5-8. The blocks really don't seem to have increased much in our area. About 14-20 depending on size and brand. For the money the Purina block is what I would buy if I where doing store bought.
I am testing the trail cameras, seeing what deer prefer, seeing the quality and number of deer in the area, and ultimately making it a bit easier for them in the harsh conditions of winter. I don't hunt any of the camera locations. If it was legal and I wanted to or needed to, I certainly might.
Nice video!

Try using a drill and a paint mixing paddle. works great.

How long do you keep it in the oven in the box at 350?
Could I interest you in a small cement mixer?
I bought a handheld Colomix style cement mixer about a week after I did this video.
@@foxoptic5887 😆good move..🍀
Too bad you didn't include some video of deer coming to the blocks. If you don't have pictures, it didn't happen.
he did, check out the tacticam Deer Block Challenge part 2
Have you figured what price would be compared to just buying a block?

How about the follow up video? Did they work. No comparison to judge your block.
The blocks all worked well, had some battery issues with a couple of the cameras. Getting ready to set them again and try to finish this up.
Are you making this to bait deer so you can shoot deer?

We have to call it raccoon bait
Cause we aren't allowed to bait deer.
Baiting deer on public land is illegal in my State. If you are on private land... Get a mechanical deer feeder.
