Dude must have attended a "school" with Tony LaPratt. He hosts a whitetail academy at his property in Michigan... Charges a shit load of money to throw a bunch of off the wall hunting tactics at you. I've never been, but I know a guy who went. I'm skeptical of the buck bed stuff. But I know for certain the licking branch tactics do in fact attract attention from the deer.
 
I too have done the licking branches, but this usually just involved tieing a branch down to get it at the right height to start a scrape. Have created rub trees in food plots as well and they have worked. The buck beds is something that I have never known anyone to try. I think there could be a little something to it as deer do prefer to bed in certain locations and spots. I take it from the responses that no one on here has tried and after all the responses even if they did they probably won't admit it. LOL.
