If you do that, you will then have the most attractive rubbing post for feral hogs. I have seen trailcam videos where every feral hog in the area would rub on a creosote powerline pole. You might be able to shoot hogs in NJ. And so will bears.They love creosote.

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
