thats awseome im gonna have to try it.

im gonna have to try this.

Isn't it bow season now? Choot em!

Yep. Season is on. I don't like to sit this early. Years ago, I'd bowhunt 60+ days a year. I've mellowed out big time.
October 25ish is go time. I'd hate to tag out early and miss the real fun.

…. Got to pet them a little more

Looks like he polished them horns down to nothing. LOL

Again, awesome pics!!

… the awesomest !!

I stuck a camera on a rub tree and that was an interesting watch. Everything from some nice bucks to does used it. Had a spike take up 4 30sec videos just giving it everything he had. And yeah I said does too. A couple old gals came up sniffed it and rubbed their HooHa on it, lol.

Oh heck yeah. Does n fawns sniff the rubs alot.
What kind of tree do you use WB ?

BB, Is there anything on that block of wood about 5' up on the post?

The fact that he's feeding morning and evening in that kill plot, during shooting hours is great motivation to figure out an intercept point between bedding and the plot. What's planted in there? He even indicates what direction he is traveling- exciting stuff!

Down here they’ll pick a tree and rub it every year until it dies, sounds crazy but you’ve heard of community scrapes? Down here I call these community rubs. When that tree eventually dies, they pick another tree and start the process all over again.
It takes a bit of walking to find them, but the easiest thing to look for is the other trees they’ve rubbed until they’re dead. They generally pick another close by and these are usually on travel routes.

330, yes, I screwed an oak branch to it for a licking branch. Some deer are using it but not as many as expected.
Eagleye. It's on the edge of a ladino clover plot. It's tucked up right next to a bedding sanctuary.
He's Purdy active as he was last year. He's a bully and I want him gone.

WB, there are several rubs back in the bedding area that have got so much use over the years, they die. Mostly Basswood.

Been waiting for him to show up.
Disappointed in that he didn't add much inches (if at all) from last year.

New bucks are starting to filter in.

BNB - You're only going down 2'? Seems a mature buck could push that over???

Thinking about giving this a whirl just to goof around a bit.

Bout 2' Gunnleg. I pour water in the hole once it's packed with dirt. Sets up Purdy good.
And yeah, there have been a few get pushed over through the years.

Appreciate ya. I've messed around with hanging thick vines for scent posts and getting them to lay scrapes where I wanted, but never a rub tree. Think I'll mess with one.

Hope you try it. It's a fun project.

Hang a cam on it and share some pics.
