I too hunt NOVA and I have found just as many pines rubbed as any other, I tend to NOT find any one kind rubbed, but find more of a pattern in diameter of trees, reguardless of the type. I think that on a pine it shows up alot further away, the bright pine under the dark dead bark. I have watched bucks rub small diameter oaks, persimmon,beech,maple, cedar and pines. I have shot bucks that in the early season there heads were quite sticky and smelled of pine, I guess he was rubbing one shortly before he was taken. Thats an intresting thought though. I will pay a little more attention to that, I know an area that I am hunting on Mpnday has trees ,about 50, in a 30 yard area all rubbed, none of them are pines, some areas have all pines rubbed, I will watch this a little more closely and see if I notice anything different than what I have stated.

Hunting ; an act of love for nature guided by the strongest spiritual forces.
