Tree tubes or tree shelters are another alternative, and are especially useful on large scale plantings. These shelters can be purchased online fairly inexpensively, and should be used in conjunction with a stake. If planted close enough together, it is usually easiest to install fencing around groups of trees and shrubs, instead of each one individually.
Black deer fencing and several stakes are not highly visible, but usually enough to deter the deer from causing too much damage. And since deer do not like to jump into areas without substantial landing room, fencing smaller areas can be effective, even if the fence is not too high.
After mating season, bucks lose their antlers and are no longer a threat to trees due to rubbing. But as winter approaches and there is less food available, deer may resort to eating plants that they do not bother the rest of the year. This occurs especially in winters that have extended periods of snow on the ground.
It may become especially difficult to protect trees when the ground is frozen, and you can no longer hammer stakes into the ground. For this reason, we advise caging or fencing trees and shrubs in the fall. Deer can be very problematic in our landscapes, especially in the fall and winter. With some preventative measures in the fall, you can protect your trees and shrubs from extensive damage over the next several months.
A mature buck probably won't enter these open areas until after shooting light. How do you bring a deer in? Choose deer urine as a lure. Put the deer urine lure around the area of your property where you want to draw deer.
Apply doe scent on grass or trees if you want to lure bucks. Deer will be most drawn to the scent about 10 weeks before the height of the local deer's breeding season. Is it better to hunt scrapes or rubs? Anyone who has killed a respectable buck near a fresh rub or rub line is likely to prefer hunting rubs. Likewise, anyone who has killed a big buck near, or on, a scrape is likely to choose hunting scrapes. Should you hunt over a deer scrape?
A buck may even ignore a scrape all-together during the peak of the rut - in fact you can often determine when the rut has actually started when the scraping activity stops. However, a wise old monster will still cruise the downwind edge of a quality scrape and that is often the best location to hang your stand. How often will a buck check his scrape? In 10 years of Scrape Research checking up to scrapes per year I've found that some scrapes are only hit once, that some often "traditional scrapes" [used at least three years in a row] that are used in "staging areas" may get hit up to 17 times probably by several different bucks , and that they may get.

In general, though, truly giant rubs on trees 10 inches or more in diameter are initiated by mature, large-antlered bucks. For those reasons and others, buck rubs are truly fascinating.
