Bowmar Bowhunting's pine-post setup gets a workout from bucks
Expanding foam anchors an artificial deer rub, but viewers want more detail about where to put it.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 133,804 views a day, 6.3 times a normal first day on this channel (21,084).
Monster BUCKS Will Hit This!👀
How do you stop a planted branch from coming loose when a buck starts working its antlers against it? Bowmar Bowhunting's answer is a material more often associated with installing fence posts: expanding post-setting foam.
The Short, titled "Monster BUCKS Will Hit This!👀", drew roughly 134,000 views in its first day, more than six times the channel's usual start for Shorts. For a channel known for high-speed footage of arrows in flight, this is a different kind of demonstration: preparing something for deer to visit before any hunting happens.
The presenter places a white pine branch in a dug hole, mixes a two-part foam pouch and pours it around the base. The mixture expands to fill the gap. Once it has cured, he checks the post's firmness, notches the bark with a saw, adds scent attractant and covers the base with leaves.
Then the trail camera supplies the payoff. Antlered bucks visit in daylight and darkness, inspecting the pine and vigorously rubbing their heads and antlers against it.
The practical questions in the comments go beyond whether the post stays upright. Viewers ask where to position a setup like this, with some emphasizing deer travel routes rather than simply choosing a convenient spot. Another suggests the lower-tech alternative: a longer post buried deeper. The foam is the video's distinctive detail; placement is what several hunters want explained next.

Please make sure you say how important location of these runs and your mock scrapes during your shorts. Too many guys are throwing these things out in random spots and then get upset when they don’t have good results
