Default Do bucks usually only put out one rub line?

Im trying to figure out how many decent Bucks I might have wandering my farm. I have noticed 6 different rub lines across my farm and those are only the ones I have seen. I have 400 acres so Im sure theres more that I just havent found as I dont like going on nature hikes looking for deer signs during rut and getting my scent everywhere. I have seen three of the deer responsible for them and all are wall hangers.

I just hope the other rubs are from deer just as big as all are on decent sized trees. They are all in different areas of my farm so Im assuming they all belong to different bucks? Also will a small young buck usually rub on so many trees and combine them with scrapes? Im hoping all those rubs+scrapes belong to nice deer and not just some scrub 1.5 year old 4 pointer.

Im starting to run out of stands for all these rubs/scrapes I find as I put up #10 today after finding 5 nice rubs and 2 scrapes only 20 yards behind my house. Stand overlooks some waist high pines that were planted 2 years ago I think and have oaks behind me so should be a decent spot. Have also heard deer in the woods while walking my dog out back so hoping it will be a good stand.
