Licking branches are magical deer attractants, yet invisible to most hunters. This video can open your eyes to locating the best deer hunting spots since licking branches attract deer year round.

During the rut deer will scrape, urinate and interact with licking branches.  But its important to realize that deer will use the branches year around.  They use these branches almost as a ‘check-in’ to a location as well as to see which other deer have been there.

These are obviously great places to place your trail camera as you will see (and get a great look at) all the deer that pass by.  As the video below shows, its important to understand how deer use these branches and why.  A savvy hunter will be able to ‘create’ licking branches to help understand the deer population of their land.
