Itook a picture and itwas the last of my batteries, so I had to make the man law and post at least one. This guy has about 3 in a rowin this location. I have more on video, but I cant upload any video....dont know how.

This guy I have seen. He is at least a 5x4 but it was in velvet when I sawhim twice.I have hi trais al figured out. This is is his staging area just 25 yards from a bean field. What a monster rub though. Im starting to see several rubs. his on was don hours before I took the picture.

Hes all mine Joey....dont even think Im showing you this spot!

Awesome!

Are you sure that's a rub? It looks like its just bark pealing off a dead tree and it goes awfully close to the ground.

I could be wrong though!

I agree with Dan.

Do you go into your hunting land every day?

Looks just like bark peeling off

Guys,

Its definately a rub. The picture doesnt do it justice. This guy picked this very healthy sedar...bark doesnt just peel off. His tracks are all around, as well as 3 other rubs in the vecinity. There is a scrape about 20 yrds away, wih fresh droppings.

All of this is in a staging area about 20 yrds from the corner of a bean field. His trails, rubs, and sign are not leading me away from being just a darn big rub. If its the 5x5 I have seen in the area, no wonder. I will get new batteries and go back to get all of his rubs in a row.

DEFINATELY A RUB.....no bark falling off, or that branch that he knocked off to the stub.

Doesn't look like a rub to me either. I've never seen one rubbed ALL the way to the ground.

I'm guessing mature squirrels.
