If you can I would try to figure out when he is hitting this rub, first thing I would do is find a spot as far as possible from the rub where you can glass it, get in early in the morning and in the afternoon and see if you see him working the rub, if you don't then just put a piece of thread across the path near the rub in the late afternoon and then come back first thing in the morning to see if he is hitting the rub at night. If he is hitting it a night you will need to find where he is bedding or feeding. Rubs if the deer is working it in the afternoon or morning are good places to hunt early in the season, but a waste of time if they are worked at night.

I guess what I am saying is a rub basically is a sign you have a buck in the area, but not the best place in the world to hunt every time.
