Just wondered if anyone here ever made their own licking branch set up with a scrape or not . I read some articles on this subject and they were saying how good it works from early season to the rut . I have all the scent I need to do it . Just I'm not sure if it's for real or just BS . I know they use licking branches all the time as a sign post all year long . It sounds good , but does it work ?

I've done it and not sure if they actually worked..the store ones anyways.i have made mock rubs and peed next to them and seen deer walk over and squat..maybe I'm special ?

You have the same problem huh..lol
I used to use that stuff but never really had any results..started mixing it with I think it was called black widow out of upstate NY,seemed a bit better...my own d&d cervesa infused morning blend seems to work best ?

Thanks SWK , I take it that you used Wildlife Active Scrape for the scent . That I don't have yet . I have a synthic type of lure that I have been using for the last few years . I have in scrape form , forehead , and in hot doe . Haven't used them much but will this year . Thanks for the info .
