Sounds like finding a "track" on a tree, to me. I give them about as much attention (a track found v. a rub).

It's another one of thosesupposed "absolutes" (big rub/big buck)that I love to see discussed. A calling card from "a" buck.

Don't get me wrong.....I come from the land of small-ish bucks....and the ones I find (rubs)are typically reflective of that fact. If I ever found a monster rub here.....I'd likely give it a second look......before I moved on to find out a place where I think he might COME.....in lieu of where he's BEEN.

Good luck!
