Well, if North is the top of the map and south is the bottom, so on and so on. I'm going to say that inside corner south east of your current stands right next to that creek should be hot. It should serve as somewhat of a funnel as well.I know it's tempting to hunt those field edges but if you back of a little bit you will catch more deer before dark. Where you got marked for those huge rubs is a perfect staging area for a buck. My guess is he is bedding close to that creek and then makes he's way towards that field before dark and then "stages up" in that little point until it is completely dark.
I would have to agree with that...I got down out of my stand one evening to head home and I walked the edge of the field over to the other side, I was just kind of looking around the edges for rubs or any kind of sign...didn't see anything at all. The next morning I walked past where I have the rubs marked, and they were there. The definitely happened the night before while it was dark. It was an awesome sight seeing that he did to the trees. There was 6 or 7 trees all within a 10 or 15 foot circle just absolutely shredded top to bottom and on all sides. All kinds of broken branches around and there waspiles of shavings around the bases of the trees. The funny thing is I killed a big 8 the year before that was rubbing the exact same spot but on a different tree. I watched him for about 10 minutes rubbing the tree before he came across the field to me.
