Hello my name is Tug Rilling. As many of you my father introduced me to hunting when I was a young boy. I now have been hunting for over 45 years. As time went by, I was so intrigued with deer hunting I began to use some of the first deer game cameras in the late 1980’s.

I was always looking for ways to improve on hunting big bucks along with learning how deer communicate with each other. I started trying to do mock scrapes with real tree brands along with every scent made. I kept thinking of a better way to intice all deer (bucks, does hawns) to use my mock scrapes in front of my deer stands cameras. Yes, every now and then I would get a pic but not like I wanted. What I often found is the branches were not being hit or not often at all, when one was hit is was not in the best area or angle for hunting.

Over the years I started making prototypes of branches that I would place at a certain height and angle. Then many years ago I finally made a discovery that I thought would work. I have been tweaking and perfecting for some 8-10 years. I have tested and tested and again tested and this is what has become The Buck Branch.
