I've read the old threads on here of hunters who have built rubbing posts in their food plots or in open area's, my question is did they work during the season? Did you use cedar or pine? Store bought or with bark? Want to try this next year so give me your input, please only guys who have tried this not the one's who haven't. Don't want opinions, just results. Thanks.

I use Osage orange trees for post and hanging branch. On my brothers farm it seems the bucks like that Osage orange over anything else. If non available, then cedar for post and black locus, oak and or hickory branch.

I've got a cedar post in mine.. I put it in the ground and drilled three holes in it angled downwards. I cut limbs off of other trees, inserted them in the holes and put a wood screw in them to hold them in place. I also put a scrape dripper on one of the limbs. The deer seemed to work it pretty good early on. Best buck I have in there was a decent 8.  |

If you have willow available they seem to work really good as well. Just cut a big limb off and bury it in the ground. Just going by other things I've seen online.

I'm at my wife's sister's house right now for a Christmas get-together, and they have dozens of osage orange trees on their 10 acres. |

Great, my brothers farm has a lot of them and that's where I find most scrapes. I had a monster scrape for years and finally there was nothing left to screw new branches on. |

Very hard wood and lasts almost forever. Very so in the rotting process. |
