Hey guys.....new guy here.
I'm just wondering if any of you have had any luck trying to make a rubbing post with a store bought cedar post? The little bit I can find on the internet about it, seems like some have had success, and some not so much....
I purchased 4 of them this year, and spread them out on our 100 acres of woods, mostly in clearings on ridges where I know bucks travel, and placing them within 20 yards of tree stands I have, hoping to get the bucks to stop and at least smell the post, giving me a shot. I also drilled a hole in the top part, and installed a metal bar sticking straight out about 3 feet, and then hung a rope down from that for a mock licking branch.
Anybody else try this type of thing? I might be wasting my time, but I'm going to find out one way or another....Lol
Here is a pic of it, as I was working on it in the shop.... I put a little paint on the cedar post to create some contrast, hoping they know where to rub, or looks like the place it has been rubbed...
