RE: buck rubs...
jeff, thats awesome!!! that gotta have you a weee bit pumped!! i know im VERY pumped over my findings...i feel like that spot is going to teach me ALOT about DEER hunting, and is going to be a spot i should consistantly be on deer...early season, mornings and evenings and into the seeking and chasing phases of the rutt....its THE food source...got the bedding areas in the thicker woods all around the oak ridge...i feel i FINALLY put the pieces of the puzzle together...and past expiriences tell me theres some NICE bucks in that immediate area...(we used to fall turkey hunt about 100 yds east and 200yds north(down off the ridge) and see alot of nice bucks cruising...at the time it was a nice hardwood flat next to a real thick edge....the thick edge matured a good bit and the canopy closed ALOT...forest floor is now covered in waist high ferns, though i still may hunt that spot just to SEE what i see...i hate the ferns though...and know past years another bow hunter hunted that spot...i always found his scent bombs hanging...
quik, id agree within about the next 10 days or so most all of them aughta be hard horned and rubs will be showing up quick...
im pumped...i cant wait...
