I haven't been out to any of my spots since August, so I couldn't tell ya. Saw a few up in Wisconsin last weekend though.

At my Bowhunting spot in Vermillion County I found 2 rubs ( one Large Rub and a Smaller Rub )and a scrape and where the buck bedded down all within 18 yards of my Stand, farther down a funnel from my stand was another 3 good rubs

i went out to james w. hawn in carlyle, it is public hunting and there are rubs everywhere. just walking through the woods, i counted 8 different spots, with 2 or more rubs. i didnt really see any sign of them being monsters, but there has to be decent animals out there considering all of the rubs.

I hunt in Montgomery county. One of the farms I hunt I've seen a ton of rubs but no scrapes yet. Seen a couple younger bucks on the property. On another farm I haven't seen buck sign yet. I made a couple mock scrapes a few weeks ago and checked them this week but nothing had touched them, so I refreshened them. Haven't seen any rubs there either. But I haven't looked much either. I try to stay out of the timber as much as possible. I look for rubs and scrapes after the season, so if it's not by my stand I'm not gonna find them. But my brother-in-law spooked a 12 ptr today while mowing a field ditch that is between two farms that I hunt. So hopefully I'll get a look at him one of these weekends.
