Where do you get bulk salt

Submitted by bill on 01/22/2004. ( richkuswil@comcast.net ) 208.0.20.2

This is kind of a silly question, but I don't know the answer. I do a number of game heads and mammals each year and have always used table salt for both salting and brine because I don't know where to get bulk (50-100 lb bag) salt. I'm salting an elk cape right now and using up many 5-lb boxes! Mail-ordering it wouldn't make sense because of the shipping charge. So what kind of store would you get fine salt in bulk from? I'm in the Baltimore area and there are a few farm and home stores around, like Southern States, but what I've seen there is very course salt, and I'm not even sure it was sodium chloride. Thanks for the help.

Go to your local feed or farming store. They will sell it to you by the truck load if you want!

God Bless

Its the same answers each time. Try a water treatment business if you wanna try a new suggestion. 50 and 80 lb bags are the norm. Fine grain salt.
