Made three horizontal rubs yesterday. Has anyone else made them before?

I heard guy down in iowa does it he has good luck with them

If any of you guys watch Midwest whitetail or whiteknuckle production some of their pro staff use them. Pretty cheap to make I think it cost me a total of $10!

Put one in yesterday, gave maple a try.

Have you received any pictures yet of any bucks using it?

Scrapes or rubs? I can see rubbing some velvet off around now but scrapes already?

[Scoot]

Yep, I'd wonder the same thing as leech.  However, last year when the bucks were all still in velvet, I had a scrape on the edge of a bean field just out of view of my trailcam.  There's absolutely no doubt what it was and it was in July--. I've never seen anything like it!

Didnt see any rubs yet, but ive seen a few scrapes in my day, both were complete with licking branches

The young guys will sometimes make little scrapes.

That looks to be a nice deer!!!

[rkhinrichs]

I think it might would have worked better if that tree in the picture would have not fallen in front of the rub.

 

also I had a fair amount  of does and fawns check it and lick it.

I have a couple of spots where scrapes are opened up every year by opening weekend bow in mid Sept, they aren't easy to find but they are out there.
