elkaholic Report post Posted August 25, 2021 Territorial licking branch, kinda like the local bar. Everyone stops by to see who's hanging around. You can even start your own licking branch. Not to sure about the squating thing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This explanation makes sense. Bucks make scrapes during the rut to check in on who's been hanging around or passing through. No reason all deer would not exhibit similar behavior year around. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elkaholic Report post Posted September 9, 2021 We have been using licking branch for a couple yrs.. Every deer in the area seem to stop by. Even a dangling hemp rope will work. Usually make a mock scrape by branch with scent. Even pee in it. Works great 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
