Horizontal rubs?

Unread postby vtbuck » Tue Jul 26, 2016 4:11 pm

I'm planning on setting up 2 horizontal rubs. My question is who does this and do you do anything special for them?

They work well but are a magnet for other hunters.... i would forgo on public land unless it's in an area I was sure others wouldn't see

i use pine. I put on a transition line that deer naturally travel. put mock scrape nearby. last year a deer upended it and twisted and flipped it and ripped it off the tree.unfortunately I didn't get video as my camera was already dead or wasn't working at the time. I had it wired tight with wire and u-bolts , I couldn't believe how bad it was ripped off. I plan on putting another one out same time as last year(spet. 1st)aproximately
