RE: unusual sightings
I found a fresh rub late last week, took my kid out looking for Coyotes and came across it, had him pose with his head against the tree just for a fun photo, when I got there there were fresh shavings on the snow..
In this area there are many rubs, but this was the only one that showed signs of new activity, it is on a trail that leads to a fallen tree the deer have been eating the ends off of.
