Please help settle a debate. Will a buck leave his mark on a cedar post?

That’s cool. I’m fascinated with what big bucks will do.

Guess I’ll follow up with a “what’s better?” scenario… to transplant a cedar tree or just go buy a post and set it?
My thoughts were that the post would carry more scent from being around more humans.

As evidenced by AlxTgr’s first pic, which is a muley

Some of the biggest rubs I’ve seen when hunting in Missouri have been on cedar trees. They tear them up. I’m sure if you transplanted a few of them to your property, they would get worked.

There is a buck commander video on YT that has a big WT making a utility pole an hourglass design

I have a lot of cedar trees on my property. It appears that a deer will make a rub on a cedar before anything else.

Yes. In Indiana I have seen them do it in the Cedar thickets where we hunt.

I've seen them rub fence posts in South Dakota.

If you are looking to make a spot for a buck to rub look up the guy that makes horizontal rubbing posts. I watched some videos of him and I'm convinced he knows what he's doing.

Here he is. Guy kills a bunch of big bucks.

Unless there’s a magnolia sapling nearby.

In South Dakota I've seen them rub them down to a nub that looks like an old beaver knawed off tree

I had an old timer once tell me that you can pour some creosote into a hole in the ground, cover it up and a buck couldn't resist pawing at it and trying to get it up.
I passed it off as some bs but maybe there is something to it with a few posts mentioning bucks rubbing up against utility poles. Where I hunt there are no utility poles so I've never seen them rub on one.
