I did not see any rubs plus this was a marshy area with small pockets of thickets. The bucks around here just started scraping too so I didn't see any that day. Making my way through the tall noisy blades of grass I kicked him up when I got within 40yds. Before this happened, I did start to feel like I was gonnabump somethingand should've stopped pressing forward, but there was a tree just 30yds deeper in thatI had my eyes on.
Marsh is my speciality. Look for bed or beds.. and smell them. Then you'll know.
Take heed of the wind direction and what it was when you busted him. WRITE IT DOWN somewhere. He will likely be back with the same.. now think of a plan in which to get him. Sometimes it takes a year.. but always remember that direction for that bed.
He felt safety with that wind.
