This year I found a lot of rubs in an area I would like to hunt that had scratches and gouges evenly spaced on calf andlarger sized trees. I believe the trees were rubbed with only the buck's brow tines. My question is, why do you think he rubs the trees this way? Is it a preferred way of rubbing by him or does it have to do with the configuration of his rack?I have seen this before in other placesand was always curious.
Most of the time a buck will put the tree right between his brow tine and his main beam and will go to town on it. He will also try and get the tree between his rack so he can get his forehead glands on the tree to leave his scent.
