Tominator Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Re: Big rub..... Yep, that's even bigger than the one near the Carey Lane lane. Did you hang my stand nearby yet? Did you ever see those ones in my field Tom? I'll have to take a picture of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnatecsteve Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Re: Big rub..... [image][/image] Found these two years ago, also the buck that made them. I hunted all season for him and he gave me the slip twice. Haven't seen him since. Not heard of anyone shooting him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Re: Big rub..... Dont guess I have ever seen a rub on a tree quite that big Tom, but have some very large trees that look similar that have been gnawed on by beavers. Biggest rub I have seen around here was on a tree a little bigger around than a 2 liter coke bottle. Saw an episode of RT once I think where a deer was rubbing a telephone pole.

lil hunter Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Re: Big rub..... next time i go out to the land i hunt, theres a 2"x6" fence post out there that is rubbed all the way across, and most of the way up and down. I'll have to take a picture of that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Re: Big rub..... OK while I was in Iowa this past November I came across these 2 rubs. This one is big but........ it's nothing compared to this BIG Osage tree. Yea I know it's hard to believe it's a rub but I promise you it is. I was like when I saw it. Never did see the big guy that made it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnatecsteve Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Re: Big rub..... Do you guys notice how bucks prefer to rub on trees that have an odor to them...pine, cherry, kreosote utility pole..lol, cedar... I've noticed that quite a bit where I hunt.

[/ QUOTE ] Hmmmm, never really noticed that so much as they like to get there antlers into bark or trees that give a little. Usually soft barked trees it seems to me. Rhino--that's truly amazing. I saw 1 apple tree (actually, 3 big trunks that formed one big tree), that was that big, maybe a little bigger, that had a rub on it. When my buddy called me over to look at it, like a dumb a** I said "what did that? A bear?" He just looked at me with this pity look on his face. We don't have bear in this part of Ohio. That apple tree had a 2 foot diameter on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Haven't really noticed that either. Probably the most common tree for a deer to rub down here is a Magnolia tree. 2nd to that would be a Cedar tree.
