[Dushon]

Bout time for a new one eh?

Apparently it gets used.

What makes them rub on this vs a near by tree?

Creosote

I've killed a lot of hogs and i've seen hogs rub on trees but never heard of someone making one. Mind filling me in?

[expressfish]

I'll be putting up one this coming year. Thought about just laying a railroad tie down, dont know if it would work the same ? The telephone/ powerline poles on my buddies place in devine look just like that

I don't know why but they love creosote.

So, sick a pole in the ground coat it with creosote and you're good to go? Cool, I'll be trying this one out soon.

Make sure it is anchored or driven in deep or they will knock it over pretty quick. I have taken a bucket of creosote and just painted it all over an existing tree.

isnt creosote banned? just wondering cause i think they quit doing crossties with it... or so ive heard.... if not where can i get some.... i bet it would be cheaper than corn...

It helps kill the ticks and lice. I have seen people use old motor oil in place of the creosote.

Wonder if diesel would work?

I've got about 100 gals of that behind the shop, i'll let you know if it works.

Does used motor oil work just as well?
