Default Rubs

I went out scouting today and found a few rubs. I took a pic of a couple of nice ones. The first one is on the edge of a bedding area in a strip of pines. There are usually a couple like this every year in this spot.

This rub is on a phone pole where I sometimes park my truck. I've thought about waiting in the back of my truck, and hiding behind the tail gate![:-]

Deer really love to rub on pines. If you see a lone pine in a field, especially a smallerone, go check it out it's probably been rubbed.

Those are some nice rubs.

Bucks love making them on pine trees. Alost all the rubs i see are on pines. I think it is because the bark is softer and easier to spread their scent, or maybe it has something to do with them likey the pine scent. Anyone know?

Pines are arromatic. Bucks will often rub them. I've found many rubs on pines in PA. Usually they're the larger variety.
