If a large diameter tree is rubbed does it always mean a big mature buck did that rub or can it be misleading to judge rub size with antler size? Or, can you have multiple smaller bucks marking the same trees as a larger buck would have done. If the rub is high on a tree say 3 feet up is that always a big buck?

a big buck can rub a little tree, but a small buck cant rub a big tree
How do you figure that.I know that the larger the tree than most likely it's a bigger buck,but small bucks can rub larger trees also,I'm more interested in how the buck rubbed rather than how large the tree was,if you can find a could rub with little cuts and nicks shoulder high then you can be sure it's a mature buck with decent head gear.
I like seeing the big rubs! But, I go more by the height an the intensity of the rub if the tree has real deep cuts an the looksof a verytesterone feed deer it really gets my attention.

A buck generally likes to rub a tree he can get in between his rack. A buck with a small basket rack let's say,isn't going to get a wide tree in between his rack. Does that make any sense?

i was also always told that they have to have use all neck muscle while rubbing a tree, and the bigger the tree, the more muscle its going to take. not sure if thats true or not, it makes sense to me though
Sounds like finding a "track" on a tree, to me. I give them about as much attention (a track found v. a rub).
It's another one of thosesupposed "absolutes" (big rub/big buck)that I love to see discussed. A calling card from "a" buck.
Don't get me wrong.....I come from the land of small-ish bucks....and the ones I find (rubs)are typically reflective of that fact. If I ever found a monster rub here.....I'd likely give it a second look......before I moved on to find out a place where I think he might COME.....in lieu of where he's BEEN.
Rubbed trees.
