No. A lick is a mineral deposit, often salt, that has come to the surface, attracting herbivores and other animals. These animals literally lick the earth to get needed minerals; like waterholes in Africa, however, predators stalk the licks to cull the weak, sick, and/or unlucky.

Same principle applies today when a hunter lays down a salt pan for deer.

Thanks Marechal. That particular lick was set up for chubby animals, hence the name, big boned.
