Guys,

Its definately a rub. The picture doesnt do it justice. This guy picked this very healthy sedar...bark doesnt just peel off. His tracks are all around, as well as 3 other rubs in the vecinity. There is a scrape about 20 yrds away, wih fresh droppings.

All of this is in a staging area about 20 yrds from the corner of a bean field. His trails, rubs, and sign are not leading me away from being just a darn big rub. If its the 5x5 I have seen in the area, no wonder. I will get new batteries and go back to get all of his rubs in a row.

DEFINATELY A RUB.....no bark falling off, or that branch that he knocked off to the stub.
