I am having to put wire rings around any tree that I don't want destroyed by rubbing bucks, I did put a decoy tree up for them in my greenfield last year, dug up a cedar about 5" in diameter and planted it in the edge of the greenfield, kept a camera on it, it was amazing how many deer, bucks and does, came by and used it for a rubbing their antlers on and then also the edge of it for a scrape where the whipped up the branches just over their head and scraped up a big patch of dirt, urinating in it. it was interesting how much they used it. ten thousand trees on the property but this one got massacred. I had to tie it up by the end of the year.
