I wish I could post a pic of them, but, 5 years ago, a buddy and me were scouting after the season and we came across 3 rubs, that were at least the size of my thighs, which is about 10 to 12 inches in diameter, and the top of the rub area was roughly about 3 feet off of the ground. They were all within 50 yards of each other, and this is in N.W. Missouri, where we have only whitetails. I have never seen anything this size since.

I have hunted that area for years and still do, and I have witnessed some nice racks, but nothing that I could imagine would make this size of a rub. None of the neighbors hunt, and I never found any sheds past a 130 class. I suppose that there are times when a large buck had trashed this area chasing a doe out of his normal stomping ground, or a smaller buck could make a huge rub like this on a tree, stranger things have happened, like the deer on top of the power pole on the other thread.
