RE: Where are the Rubs?
I noticed rubs started earlier, but until the past 10 days pretty calm in the R&S department. We experienced a huge cold front and they seem to be everywhere now. I even saw 2 good bucks get into a bit more than a friendly sparring match on the weekend...so she is a comin'.
If your finding scrapes, the rubs are around, you may not be looking in the right place? Most of the rubs I have found are quite deep in the bush or transition areas, the outside, food source type rubs aren't apparent yet here either, but they tend to show up much closer to actual rut(which is about a month away still).
