So I've had two of these licks going now for . . .(takes off a sock). . . 13 years. A few years ago, I was sitting up in the stand at Garbage Pit (it's actually a beautiful place) and I realized for the first time the immensity of the crater that has evolved over the past decade. These deer are coming in day after day and eating the dirt and carrying it away. The hole is getting pretty big. It's a slow afternoon hunt, and I get to thinking. I come from a bunch of home builders so first I estimate the cubic yards that had been removed, and then started calculating how much salt, deer/days, etc. it would take to excavate a basement.
The answer was highly impractical, but it kept me busy until sunset.
