Do you ever notice?
That when a hunter on TV, DVD, or anywhere else for that matter kneels down next to a buck he or she just harvested and gives the "hero interview", they always say you can smell the cedar from where he's been rubbin. I've never heard a hunter say "this is oak, or this is a maple, or an osage orange, or whatever else species of tree" it's always a cedar. Is it just me or does that seem to be the case everywhere. Either this is one heck of a coincidence, or it's justbecoming thecool thing to say. If this is true, then I'm hanging next to or on cedars from here on out! ;-)

That's an interesting observation. It could be that cedar has such a strong scent that it is the most notice and the fact that deer love to rub cedars. I know if there is a line of cedars mixed in with hardwoods the cedars are always shredded and the hardwoods are left alone.

I've shot a few bucks and I've never really smelled what they were rubbing unless it was their tarsal glands! [:'(]
However, I know that bucks really love to rub pines and cedars. Next time you're walking through a scrub field and you see a lone pine, go check it out, it's most likely been rubed.
