Dude:

I'm not the only one doubting it's a rub.....just the one you wanna focus on. My scouting skills tell me that some cedars look like old rubs....when the skin peels off the tree from non-whitetail critters and just "nature". My scouting skills have paid off pretty handsomely, also. See.....sometimes NOT scouting is the right call.

A rub tells you there was "a" buck in your woods one time. Nothing more. He could come back. He could have been passing through. He could have thrashed that cedar from top to bottom, bypassing the twigs there with surgical precision. "He" also could have been a squirrel, abear scratching his back or side,an opossum or a raccoon. Hell I'll give you the benefit of the doubt....(since I don't really care). It was definitely the 10 pointer. If you don't spook him into the next county by going in there every day.....smoking and leaving scent, everywhere.....maybe you'll also get a crack at him. Good luck!
