Tonight I was hunting a couple of fresh rubs I came across on the way to my blind.... I couldn't have missed them cause the deer scat was right on the trail I walked in on 2 hrs earlier and the rubs were right there on a couple of small trees. So I decided to climb a tree right there. Got out my screw in steps climbed a tree about 20yards away from the rubs. They are about 10 yards from a creek. I had been there about an hour and a half and sure enough about 6pm I spotted a buck on the other side of the creek it's pretty thick there so I didn't get a real good look but I believe it was a 6 point. He never came my way.
Here's the kicker. The buck was walking straight towards my blind SOOOOO If I had been hunting in my blind I think I would have had a shot. But that's hunting. Hunting rubs is a good idea. Rubs show you that a buck is in the area. I'll hunt them a couple days and then go back to my stand. Set up on the one's you have seen and Good luck!
Live it up! Doug
