One mad buck?
Few years back I took a doe out of a tree stand me and a friend had hung two, a few weeks prior. I came back with him a few weeks later. There was a huge rub right at the same exact spot where the doe was hit. I got into my stand, he wen't back another 100 yards to the next stand. We weren't there an hour when I herd the comotion of a hit deer. I see a buck coming crashing right at me. It fell not ten yards from my tree. Not 5 yards from the new rub. Funny thing was next I hear him start yelling , I got one, did you see it? There was a thicket between us and he could not see me, nor the 6 point he had bagged. I sat laughing for a while and would not answer back. He come thrashing through the thicket 5 minuits later. He says did you see a deer come through here. So that leaves me to wander, was the rub related to the doe being shot. Was that buck pissed. It was not like it was on a rub line. It had to be more than by chance. It was like he was still looking for something in the same place.

RE: One mad buck?
i get what your tryin to say , but you just took a BIIIIIGGGGG detour to saying it ...
My guess is no , it was simply by chance , and if it was only a dink 6 i dunno if it would make that big of a rub .... but at the same time , the lil bucks r the ones that rub randomly!!!!

RE: One mad buck?
I doubt that buck had any idea that another deer was shot at the same spot. I really don't think a deer has any ability to reason about getting pissed off b/c another deer was shot. There doesn't have to be a rub line in order for there to be a rub, especially if you have a lot of young deer in the area. Just my opinion, I just think some people give deer too much credit for being able to think and reason about certain situations, they just go off their senses and natural instincts. And b/c their senses and natural instincts are so acute, that sometimes leads you to believe they are smarter than we are.
