found some good rubs while shedding (pics)

Well im still nill on the sheds this year, the toughest year ever, but i happened upon some promising rubs that may tell the tale of a good buck in the area that survived EHD

.
Bad thing is, this is a young woods and hardly a worthy tree anywhere, and i hate hunting from the ground [8D]Just trying to break the post season boredome

first one i ran into and a smaller one in the background. i love deep gouges, not huge but still promising.

50 yards away, even bigger

He hit this one so hard it broke the tree [8D][&:]

Nice rubs Blood. No sheds though .. huh. I went nearly 40 hours[&:] on foot this year before finding 2 matched sets in less than 5 minutes earlier this week. You just gotta keep walking...

Alot of bucks still carrying. But they are really starting to drop here in northern Illinois. I expect some good outings for me in the future.

Good luck Blood.

DUKE. Oh man do i know about the leg work and shed hunting, i usually shed some pounds doing it

my son has found two so far. i remember the ones you found, nice buck

last year was a good one for us, we normaly find just one side, last season it was three sets and some straglers. 40 hrs is alot of walking, but if your like me, i double the shed hunting with scouting to, i find my best areas this way. good luck to you as well.
125PV..IM still seing some carriers to, good luck to you.

Nice looking Rubs

Love the late season scouting. Finding rubs like that will be sure to get you pumped and ready for next season.

Nice rubs Dan. I scouted some land around Jefferson Proving grounds last weekend and also found several impressive rubs. Saw 2 mature bucks with their racks still on also.

those are nice rubs blood. I wish I could get out but the snow here would be up to my neck if I posed like you did in that first pic.
