I had a buddy try it. He didn't have any luck....but then again there were lots of natural trees around...i would think it may work I'm an area without a lot of trees that a buck would normally rub on....i have seen a telephone pole rubbed so hard there were splinters on the ground
While a rub post can work, you may have more success by introducing a licking branch with scent. A rub post can be introduced but seems less likely that the deer take to it for some reason.
On my land up north there are some near the road and it get rubbed in every single year! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
