Rub Lines
I was telling a buddy about a major rub line I found this year while hunting. He mentioned that you shouldn't hunt the rub line but sit offset from it. I have heard this before and read it also that you should look for these lines that are usually offset when you find a major thoroughfare that A LOT of deer are obviously taking. The rub line itself winds down a tightly covered old narrow ATV trail and edges between cedars and a body of water. It opens up in two places that I think would be great to sit. One is in thick cover on all sides and is secluded under thick cedars but is open enough that you could see 30-40 yards either direction. I plan on given it a try next season as I am unable to hunt anymore this year. My question is: Should you hunt offset of rub lines or "secondary trails" or could I consider a very secure route the deer take when avoiding pressure during the season?
