fljgilner Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Do bucks rub certain types of trees? Is there a way to tell what part of the rut it is based on a rub? I hunt in Columbia County Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeviShot Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I might b wrong but a rub and a the rut are 2 different things.A rub or rub line is a way of marking his territory.They will run from a bedding area to a feeding area or from feeding to bedding.I usually see tree rubs in the begining of the season then ground scraps.When the rut occurs I dont think the bucks are worried about rubbin a tree.The smaller deer in my area like to rub pines for some reason.The buck I killed the other day was rubbin a large fir tree and a few oak.Like I said I might b totally wrong.A small deer will rub a big tree,but a big deer prefers a bigger tree.

NC8point Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Yeah I agree the rut and rubbing are different things, the rubs normally mark feeding and bedding areas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
