Salt takes time to establish. That’s why you start early — and since it’s permitted year-round, nothing stops you.
Loose flavoured salt, for building a lick or restarting a site that’s gone quiet. Three flavours, one price.
Choosing a flavour
- Apple — the most versatile for white-tailed deer. Start here if you’re building a first site.
- Anise — a Quebec classic. The scent carries and holds up in wet weather.
- Sulphur — for moose sites. Sulphur draws game to the damp ground they like to paw at. Use during the baiting period.
How to use
- Pour onto open ground and work it into the soil rather than leaving it in a pile.
- Choose a spot that holds moisture — the salt soaks in and the site carries from one season to the next.
- Refresh in spring and late summer. A lick is better for being established well in advance.
- Pair with corn or FRED’S 1928 Mélasse during the baiting period.

Complete your salt lick
Open since 1928. We know this ground.
F.G. Edwards is a farm and agricultural store in Brome-Missisquoi. We opened in 1928 and we have served the rural community here for nearly a hundred years: farms, woodlot owners, country people — and hunters. Two stores today, West Brome and Bedford.
FRED'S 1928 came from a simple observation. Hunters here had been buying the same corn as our farmers for years, in the same 25 kg sack, with nothing on the sack to say so. We put a name on it, then filled the gaps: a molasses, a sulphur, a flavoured salt.
What that changes for you: farm sizes at farm prices, stock that lasts to the end of November, and two yards where we help you load. Whether you're building a first site or running six, come and see us.
